Hiring a contractor to assist with repairs and a property management company to manage rental.

So you give us contradiction and a deafening silence as to those who are too poor (no, insufficient, insurance) or are unwilling to pay/co-operate.Woolly thinking on your part, Jim.

It is an area you are likely more familiar with and closer to which could be helpful for your first investment and as @Sarah Kensinger metioned, you may be able to do a MTR.  

We have two rentals rent by room and a househack duplex.

Will finish both tomorrow then work a shed site down below and a road around the property.  

I have a pretty straight forward return with a W-2 and a K-1 from an LLC. 

If I thought for one minute there was a big market for EM deposits and a reliable bevy of potential clients I would be all over funding 7 figures .. but even with all my experience in lending I jsut dont see it  personally and maybe I am blind to it but I close a lot of deals for wholesalers 10 to 20 each and every month for years..

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

Just kidding (sort of).A lawsuit will cost you $25,000 to $125,000 and a year and a half of your life.

I just know I don’t have the knowledge yet to find a deal and a lower price point is appealing for sure.
