It would be a good book to use as reference if you are doing major rehabs that are complete gut jobs. 

Here is why - flipping is a job more than an investment; it has been hyped up by TV-shows, but the reality is a lot more sober.

When we bought the property, the area was “desirable” bc its close to a city/metropolis...jobs, city life etc.

You also won't see a military renter tell you their hours got cut at work and they need to negotiate a reduction in rent.

You will also learn to appreciate when a real estate agent is actually doing their job correctly, vs the large number of agents who just show up and do the bare minimum.What prompted me to take the course was that my first agent was not very good, but I couldn't actually truly assess and understand that without knowing myself, now I can confidently say that she wasn't very good, (lucky me, lol).Short Answer: There's not a glaring reason I can think of to not educate yourself on it, even if just for education's sake.I can't provide info on the 2nd part as I'm just not as familiar with specific MA to CT reciprocity and requirements.

I understand it's for their retirement but it's not your job to fund them.

I want to provide jobs, through value-driven work.

I started flipping properties back in 2001 as a part time hobby, as I had a full time job and active family.
