You can get rid of many of your annoying little 'old-house issues' by buying an existing house that needs repairs and literally doing everything: new plumbing, new electrical, new drywall, new roof, etc....

@Jimmy HumphreyWhen I started I literally had nothing. 

It literally seems too good to be true, but a quote I remember seeing was that the credit card companies are willing to lose millions to make billions. 

Literally got into RE while at a family BBQ about 15 years ago.

The pipes work for a long time, and there are a lot of tricks you can learn to flush faucets and keep things working for a while. 

And I don't blame them, it's literally there livelyhood. 

Successful real estate investment begins with teaching yourself about the landscape, networking, initiating small, being financial literate, doing something, and never giving up.

You can literally start that today if you wanted.

But the reality may be that the tenant hasn't paid in two months, or pays 20 days late every month, or their dog is destroying the carpet, etc.There are literally hundreds of threads explaining the dangers of buying a property with existing renters.

Me: Literally ALL of "our" (YOU don't talk to anyone a few months after selling them a property) correspondence was private.
