Hey @Krissi Miramontes Small world, I have a former client in Fair Oaks, or at least her business is there.

When the whole covid shutdown occurred, I dropped out of college to help my father's service business maintaining and remodeling residential and commercial buildings.

Treasury, HUD, and market participants/investors will have to carefully navigate many thorny issues, including: - Increased Market Competition: Fannie and Freddie will compete more aggressively for mortgage business, which will lead to innovation but also potentially higher risk-taking.

As a would be individual landlord with just a one unit single family property I don’t know I can stomach the risk or withstand a financial assault resulting from an eviction process for a non-paying tenant (or tenants that do extensive damage).I am seriously considering bowing out and selling.

All contractors (no matter the trade) are businesses, and should be run as such.

Also, you don’t need a business license just to look at properties, but if you buy a bigger property, like a multi-family unit, you might need a certificate of occupancy, depending on the local rules.For business trips, most expenses can be deductible, but if it’s part personal and part business, you can only deduct the business portion.

This is a business.

I am a highly motivated individual, however, and I'm dedicated to getting into real estate investing.  

@Michael Quarles I can honestly say that I've never gotten any solid business from postcards.

Over the past 15+ years in this business, i have seen the good, the bad, and the ugly.
