Provide the supplies.

Maybe any wholesalers, investors, fix&flippers, landlords willing to share any experience.I am a fast learner and willing to provide my business, trade for trade, to learn how to acquire my first property whether that would be a small 4-8 unit building or start big with a 20-unit building. 

However, I have heard and read of many horror stories of landlords working with incompetent property managers who provide no real value.In attempt to avoid this issue, I am doing my due diligence and asking investors for referrals of trustworthy property manager.

The exact split will depend on your agreement with the brokerage.

Some lenders offer creative solutions, like a cross-collateralized loan, where they use your existing equity as security without refinancing the duplex.Another idea is partnering with private lenders or exploring a second-position mortgage, depending on your lender's terms.

So many dependent on government.

(So therefore we wouldn’t have to pass on the cost of the repair to him ie. the tenant).Now, several months later, I contacted the contractor to ask if he would be to provide a price estimate for a different job at our house.

I do NOT have enough knowledge or experience in this arena to provide specific “how to” accomplish this, or even to provide specific”proof” of my position.  

There’s no risk and all reward because if somebody can’t provide ID, they’re not going to be able to rent from me anyway.  

@Chris Kay it depends what level of renovation you are doing!
