I just owe her a new primary :)Good luck and no reward comes from inaction.

It's a small step but action is so much more rewarding than just learning.

@Derrick Holmes, first off, welcome to BP the bestest of all REI sites...I would commence by warning you off of land, as an investor that bought, sold, rehabbed, subdivided and rezoned land both raw and improved, it's by far the trickiest of all real estate endeavors; HENCE more rewarding.

These businesses provided educational return, they got me reading books, but ultimately I failed in terms of finding personal and financial reward through them.Approximately 6 months after my realization, my wife and I were sitting in bed and I was reading the book “Rich Dad Poor Dad”.I remember distinctly, putting the book down and asking my wife “how would you feel about us selling our house and buying 2?”.

Tom Webber fire your listing agent and list it on the MLS for a small fee of $99 yourself and you would only need to compensate the buyers agent if they bring one and that would save you 3% possible 6% of the selling price which is able to lower your price to 3% less just to sell it right away.I'm my flip property I did it that way and it work like a charm.

This is your deal, you get the majority of the potential reward so why should I take the risk that you miscalculated your comps and now have to sell at cost?

Your bookkeeping system can tag income and expenses with a property ID or use subaccounts to keep track of income and expenses by property.Since you are a sole proprietor, there is no issue with co-mingling funds and using the same checking account for both personal and rental activities, but, it is much simpler for record keeping to have a separate checking/savings account for the rentals.I have charged stuff on my personal credit card for my rental properties, because I get "rewards" for my charges.  

"Low risk low reward, higher reward means higher risk." 

***I know I deserve to reap the rewards.**** You can too.I look forward to learn more from BP and to source more money so that I can continue my journey.

I work as an appellate public defender, which is fulfilling work but not so financially rewarding. :-) My goal is to buy my first property in either of these two markets.
