Youve always been interested in real estate.
Youve never met an open house you didnt want to tour, even if you werent planning to move.
Then the reality hits: Becoming a landlord or flipping houses seems incredibly hard.
There are more ways to get started than youll find on HGTV, and some are easier than others.
As the property owner, youd build equity and handle maintenance.
Wholesalers find properties and sell them to other buyers without even making improvements or repairs.
Or who will verify the house is restored to tip-top shape between guests?
Come to think of it, whos handling marketing and guest vetting?
Not to mention the physical and financial toll.
Become a Landlord
Imagine the benefits and challenges of renting out a vacation home then magnify them.
Thats becoming a full-time landlord.
Sure, you benefit from consistent rental income from tenants on stable leases.
But youll also have to handle repairs, emergency maintenance, landscaping, rent collection and tenant disputes.
It takes patience, problem-solving skills, and an ability to deal with tenant issues and property upkeep.
