Personally hammered every shingle on that new roof and painted the interior.

By the end of September, I will have 25k saved up to use on a property (outside of my personal emergency fund of course).

I lost everything in 2008 during the recession.  13 homes all in the suburbs including my personal home in Royal Oak. 

I also hope to have the flexibility to focus on a personal goal of non-profit work involving real estate at this stage.I look forward to conversing with all of you, including building a reliable and trustworthy network of colleagues.

Don't worry this is going to be life-changing for you, wishing you the best of luck!

@Shivam Patelno, not unless you're going to go there in person to set up a team. 

I have always personally shown the rental units to prospective tenants but am not always available. 

As my portfolio grows and general life is getting busier, I am looking for some ways to deal with some of the more mundane/routine tasks.

Also how do you find lenders so that one can invest without their own personal money.

In general, this forces the person inheriting the property to sell.
