I'm looking to purchase a duplex that basically needs a full renovation, but I want to see what some of you have to say as the best way to go about tackling the heating/cooling situation.

It will not be worth trying to tackle an asset protection strategy like this over a frivolous lawsuit.

My morning ritual includes meditating, exercising, and tackling the hardest decisions of the day. 

let me see if I can tackle your questions:1.

How would you tackle this kind of market if you were trying to get started?

Watching videos about brrrr it gave me Hope's to tackle this.

Although Id like to start right away, I cant help but feel that I should tackle the good amount of debt Ive accumulated.

These fluctuating factors are in a constant state of flux and having a well balanced strategy to tackle both is key differentiator from growing a portfolio based on solid foundations versus quicksand.If you can balance most importantly the leverageable equity growth and your equity being optmized across the entire portfolio of properties along with your cashflow you can go from annual 2-3x up to 10-20-30x which is what one member mentioned above how it took him years to get to 30 but then he recently added 150.Best of Luck,

I would like to learn some trades as well, carpentry as the first one I would like to tackle.

I always had SFR and duplex's previously-and still have 2 duplexes.Having 12 units under one roof gives you much better economies of scale-I increased the rents and improved the units as tenants moved out and now have the confidence and experience to tackle 30 units at this point.
