@Ben BolingbrokeI would tend to spend my 30k on a new TPO roof or marketing to find deals, however, I think if you can get going on MF investing then 30k is an insignificant rounding error.

Not really recommended to use a spreadsheet to create these financial reports because human errors can happen when entering formulas.I mean you can do it, but it just baffles me that people are okay spending time doing accounting work without any knowledge/experience instead of delegating the work when there are people who go to colleges and graduate with accounting degree.

When you reach that point and don't know what else to do, TAS can be a great resource to help get the problem resolved.I haven't used TAS to address a misapplication of a payment, but depending on what error was made, I could certainly see that being a resource. 

OP will probably end up working with a rookie then come back on here in a month complaining about how real estate agents don’t know how to do their job.

So you will end up with a rookie that will do it for cheap and cause you to lose your EMD or a discount shop that will barely answer your phone call. 

Get a good set of contractor and handyman types. this may happen through trial and error.

I was getting an app error and my posts (answers to questions like usual) were repeating themselves accidentally.  

It cost me a few hundred bucks, but it was money well-spent, because it helped me understand how to design the flood mitigation system...rather than approaching it via trial and error, I was able to build a flood mitigation system that worked the first time, and the house hasn't flooded since.

Slow and steady wins the race mate.Too many guru's and marketing companies pumping leverage to rookies because they make more money, the more somebody buys.Being patient and using all cash to begin is always safer in the long run.Build the foundation of your portfolio with cash and make it strong.After a few years, look at using leverage for faster growth.And only after you have experienced the true income and expenses of your portfolio and not just paper figures.Cash is KingCashflow is QueenLeverage is the Peasant Just my opinion 🙏

We are just starting out, listening to the Rookie podcast, researching areas, figuring out what strategy makes since, etc.
