If it's a specific job such as plumbing etc, get several quotes from licensed plumbers. 

This guy on top of his job said he goes to the house at least once per week and collected rents with cash, cashiers check or money order only.

So, the agent who showed me the house I wanted, did a horrible job keeping in communication.

Just like in any multi values are driven by cap rates.in retail home owner real estate does not matter.. if you don't have enough housing and you have great job growth or sustainable then you have apprection just based on building cost going higher.

Then you have a fun job of shimming the studs to the right level.

Now I’m at 19 units and there’s no way :) at least for me w a full time job.

Banks also tell me I'd be a bad investment if I were to get a non-legal job in Florida to supplement my income while growing my new firm, since I'd be working far beneath my education level. 

Unfortunate, but not a surprise.The more ignorant laws the stupid politicians pass in CA and a few other states, the better it is for those of us operating in relatively business friendly states as jobs and residents continue to flee those anti-business locations.

So as a result, I put on hold the investment part for me to be able to finish and pass the board for Physical Therapist Assistant program.Knowing how much income I will make this year from my two jobs; I finally decided to put end to the hold I had since three years before, so I signed for a 3-days Real State class.The seminar was scheduled to run from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, but it was given 1 ½ each day for lunch each day, plus 10 to 15 minutes break every few hours.
