Thanks again to everyone who is reaching out I feel confident that I will be able to move forward with at least one of the contacts made since my initial denial. 

All my friends work W2s and no one I know is investing in real estate so I'm really looking forward to connecting with the amazing women on BP!

I would then interview a few and make a choice as to what one to move forward with.

If they pay all their bills and maintain a job it's unlikely they'll turn into an unemployed bum once they move in.

If you’re just starting or want to minimize risk, house hacking is a killer move—grab a duplex, live in one unit, rent the other, and let it pay down your mortgage while you scale up.

If that is a stretch as to your qualifications, I would not recommend this as it would with relative quickness go to the attorneys to move forward with drafting, inspections, title search, etc.

My question is that due to numerous unfortunate circumstances, two properties that my partner and I purchased (through a program) were underscoped, and we cannot move forward financially.

I’d love to connect with local investors and agents and, further down the line, with contractors when we’re ready to take the next steps.Looking forward to connecting and learning from everyone here!

@David R Pustelnik recommend you first focus on raising the rent for the first time in 10 years.By the way, how much have your property taxes and home insurance gone up since this tenant moved in?

Hi @Sharad BagriIt’s great to see you considering liability coverage right at the outset of your partnership investment.. that’s a proactive move many new investors overlook.
