In this day and age it is almost impossible to be invisible.

The way I did this, and I started at about your age and with a wife and 3 kids, is I learned quickly that I need to buy out of state.

Some things to consider are the age and condition of major systems like the roof, HVAC, and plumbing.

Hey Jonathan,First off, let me just say, you and your brothers are doing something incredible at such a young age!

Here is an excerpt (edited slightly by me) from an Appellate Court case in Connecticut that discusses the test:"If an agreement is personal, it cannot be said to have run with the land and thus cannot have bound the future grantee....For purposes of the distinction between real covenants (running with the land, or touching and concerning the land) and personal covenants, a covenant may run with the land or may be a matter between only the purchaser and grantor.

To clarify, the biggest distinction between a second home and a rental is the 10% down?

The clients we book ourselves are looking rest and discretion (some are recuperating out patients from nearby hospitals) and all of this is clearly stated in our policy and description with Evolve including an "age requirement" to book with us.

The age old question of how to get started in RE will always have its answers and like many said above it is not easy, if you live in FLA and do not have FLA money what do you do? 

@Bobby Valcin There are appliance lifespan charts that with deciding, also serial number look up for appliance ages.

Let me know what you guys think or what most people are doing/not doing Age and location of trees have a big effect on the sewer line.
