I'm willing to help this person in any way I can.

I can just say I only paint the wall with my friend and paint the floor and paint kitchen cabinate.

@Darren Samson what kind of loan you can use is a question for a local lender. 

You can likely withdrawal more than 4% without having any concerns of running out of money.

What im hoping to gain from this group is knowledge i cant find anywhere else, i hope to meet people that i can help and people that can help me, I hope i can form good friendships on here, and i hope to find my first rental.

My uncle has done 84 percent for the last 14 consecutive years (these numbers can be proven  and have been well documented) .

Hopefully a local wholesaler can chime in to connect.

You can also door knock on Saturday and potentially Sundays.You don't always have to call on the first day. 

Housing prices the way they are and cleaning fees can anyone make money on str in long beach if they get in the game now? 

If you're house-hacking, you can put down as little as 5% (or even 3.5% for an FHA loan).
