@Adriana Medina, a typical landlord is not a skilled detective/investigator.

How do you feel about 'disruptive' technologies, how were you able to take your skill from finding information and deals this way, to how they are done in todays world? 

Some were unwilling to provide proof of funds.

A good number of people I know think he is a despicable human being, but were unwilling to tolerate some of the craziness coming from the far left any more, including open borders, "pronouns", pregnant men, and other piles of nonsense.

But if you feel like you can learn the same skills on your own through experience and other resources, saving that extra tuition for your first investment might be the better move.

Assuming they are professional and skilled in the craft - alot of the issues you have faced, they will remediate and mitigate moving forward.

Platforms like Taskrabbit.com offer skilled professionals who can assist with setup, assembly, and various tasks to get your space ready.Cleaner and handyman are key to keeping things running seamlessly, so it's crucial to have them in place before you begin.

I’ve seen firsthand how a skilled VA can really help overcome the hurdles of cold calling.

.- Working a W2 as a firefighter, posting and consuming content- Leaving my W2 to dive deep into real estate investing and working as an agent... and still watching/posting content all while business was ok - Deleting social media apps (one have one on my phone that I use 10 minutes or less a day), diving deep into building my business and skills which have drastically increased due to pure focus and increasing my business significantly- moral of the story... focus on the things you need to do in business (dollar productive activities) and life experiences while reducing consumption will increase your success  

I'm also fairly skilled at remodeling and would love to rehab my next home but It seems realtors or lenders aren't convinced I can use a conventional loan for those types of properties.
