It can be expensive to work with a GC on light rehab projects, so going with a HELOC may be more beneficial.

Plus MAYBE you can light the spark that leads them to investing and financial independence.

My advice is to hire thoughtfully, offering a full-time position even if the workload is initially light.

My tenants want compensation, just wondering if any could shed some light on this issue?

I've tried it and been screwed with it more than once.Bathrooms get semigloss light blue, kitchens get this semigloss light orange/salmon color that we like, living areas get a light gray that doesn't fade easily.Over time, you see the white oil paint, anywhere it's in the dark and not exposed to sunlight , with yellow and darken.

Just light your money on fire. 

Locks, thermostats, lights, cameras, home automation, supply delivery,  anything you can think of that will allow you to monitor your house and keep records of activity. 5.

Start with something either turnkey or light value-add, so you can start forming your boots on the ground team with less pressure and risk.
