I am taking care of lawns and handle the snow removal (pay one tenant and trade services with a neighbor of the other house), and occasionally I have to handle disputes between tenants.  

I occasionally run out of fernandina beach to target black drum.

Not to mention the occasional friend want's to buy a home.

And make what I own work for me, instead of the other way around.I am a lender, state licensed, and do mostly residential with some occasional commercial. 

I didn't like the taste to much, its always missing something so I learned to add certain spices and herbs to make a meal taste better, Chef Ramsey would love me in "Hell's Kitchen" lol in fact seeing I am self taught I actually worked as a Sous Chef in a German Resturant in Texas and everyone loved my cooking, today even my wife loves my cooking (as long as I stay away from Italian Dishes, she is Italian and that is her baliwack lol).

Occasionally, a company may have a negative beta (e.g. a gold mining company), which means the share price moves in the opposite direction to the broader market."

Look for pet supplies and pet dishes/food.

Occasionally, I have found "house-sitters," living in otherwise vacant houses.  

If you can be a reliable go-to type contractor who need minimal babysitting and occasionally anticipates the investor's needs ("hey the subfloor is all rotted out in the bathroom, do you want me to refloor over it or I can replace it real quick") or goes above the call ("I'll stick around a 1/2 hour to let the cabinet delivery guys in so you don't have to drive cross town in rush hour just to unlock the door"), you don't need to be rock bottom on price.

I will be looking more towards flipping the occasional house if a deal arrises, but I am most interested in buying a property to rent, and then building from there.
