The handyman did a full renovation on a unit for me. 

While in 5 years I have built up a passive income stream from over 30 doors now while maintaining the W2 income as "reserves" and allowing me to take bets that I won't feel comfortable with if I were doing this full time.

I am a full time pharmacist and my husband entered back in to the work force about 2 years ago after staying home with our two sons for 6 years.

@Lee Bell yes i think a hard working job will push me to want to start real estate investing. i would only do hvac until i can quit my job and go real estate full time.

Some did good but few had bad luck with tenants/vacancy/ or other emergency that hindered with mortgage payments and had their properties go into short sale or foreclosure even with a decent paying full time job.

I would like to study on my own schedule, considering I work a full time job at the moment. 

I am a fairly well trained salesman that does not want to make that a full time job. 

What is the effective age of the building you are buying IE. when was the last full renovation?

No need to highlight that I never should have signed--I am aware and there is a HUGE back story as to why I did that is not significant to the question at hand.Due to frequent flooding, we were planning to have an overhead sewer line installed, as well as a sump pit for the basement plumbing, an ejector pit for the upstairs/exterior water that was leading to the flooding, and tying in the downspouts to the mainline at the front exterior of the house underground.The project, which was estimated to last about 15-20 days, took more like 10-11 full days.

Twice as much body dander is being produced and going through the furnace filter.
