I am heavily attracted to the idea of working independently as a sort of entrepreneur (I am not opposed to working hard or for many hours, it is more so the fact of choosing how I want to live my life and run my business).I am wondering if anyone has any tips or suggestions about how I should get started and go about doing Real Estate sales part-time in college?

I currently live in California and my buddy lives in Hawaii, so we'll be relying heavily on good property managers.

I would look heavily into a HELOC on each one and then make a decision based on that total.

Lastly, I still think that at the beginning working in your own market can be weighed pretty heavily.

Hello, I'm a complete newbie at this so forgive me....but I just want to clarify something as I'm making a slight switch in my strategies and I'm heavily considering looking in buying multi-family units......I was on the most recent webinar that Brandon Turner conducted regarding newbies buying duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes.......(12/13/2017)I want to clarify something he said...and that was you can...once the numbers make sense....if you don't have any money...you can possibly use short term lending (private money, hard money, etc) to put up the money for the deal if the numbers make sense....then after purchasing the deal....after a short hold period which I think he said is about 6 months or so....re-finance the property and then use that money to pay of the original lender and now re-financed, it's under a legitimate mortgage and from that point forward you can do it again.....rinse and repeat.Is that correct?

I am heavily exploring long distance... but I thought perhaps I should look closer to home before I go to far :)  I suppose my husband and I will need to do a little digging to see if anything makes sense there. 

I'd add the cost of the garage into the rent for the units and heavily advertise that you have a one car garage included in the rent.

The former owner is really a nice lady (she has been the only one living in the property) and has been heavily involved into leading and notifying us the neighbors re: our next community meeting about safety and many other various things.

Rely heavily on referrals, whenever you can.

So why not do this and start networking heavily at the same time?
