Bonus if it can be turned into an educational how-to guide.The resident can either pay out of pocket for any work needing to be done, or they can let the GNA cover it in exchange for direct principal payments off the original market price purchase.Make a simple guide to what needs to be done on a regular basis, and establish a plan for what the resident can handle, vs what the GNA provides.Create synergy with kids and grandkids to accomplish common/ regular tasks.Opportunity for daycare/ day camp, or even homeschool type services.Opportunity for future continued business partners to take over living on the residence.Preferred scenario, resident pays for material and professional labor, and the GNA provides cheaper labor for easy tasks etc.Residents may pay part of the labor cost, but ideally if the GNA has cash to pay internal employees, then those costs get applied as principal payments.Explore options that let GNA employees trade time for ownership of that specific property, instead of traditional pay, or use it as an overtime bonus.Find ways to incorporate local artists and craftsmen, and make unique projects that incorporate the story of the house as told by the resident.

I have been sitting in my chair for half an hour trying to think of the perfect way to start telling you guys the story of how I got started in real estate and entrepreneurship.

Hanging wall gardens (whether indoors or on a deck or patio) are increasingly practical in terms of maximizing space, and also incorporating the natural element that so many city-dwellers desire.

@Yakir SheliAre you planning on incorporating debt into your investing strategy?

I had my cleaner leave like the table and folding chairs there, he basically cleaned out the garbage and food in the fridge so it wouldn’t rot.

However, you should investigate the 203k (from the FHA family) loan through this website and with others who have used it, this would allow you to incorporate rehab costs into the sale of the home.Another option is to find a cosmetic rehab.

Immediately after watching this...I swiveled my chair to my trusty whiteboard calendar, circled "February 1"...and told no one what it meant. 

Those are great ideas that we will incorporate.

Much more than she cleared working, after paying for child care, driving to the salon (45minutes each way), paying her 'chair rent' & buying the salon inflated supplies she must use.

I will definitely take incorporate in the extra 10% for rehab cost.
