Is it Friday yet?
Does anyone own rental property and would you recommend it? My wife and I are considering it as a 2nd source of income / equity.
Investments can only take you so far, with the real estate market somewhat in a lull, we were wondering if there was some good investment opportunities that we could take advantage of...
2nd question - does anyone have a real estate sales license? As a side, my wife was considering this as a possible avenue for returning to work after our 2nd child goes to school (2 years away), it would be "somewhat" flexible with more work hours on weekends and evenings (open houses, etc.). That being said, you only make as much money as you put in it effort wise, so it could be somewhat of a risky venture. In addition, we only know our friends / family, so getting a reputation might be hard in an already over run career field in our city (600 realtors in a town of 100,000).
If anyone is doing this kind of stuff (even investing in real estate) give me some sage advice on your experiences.
