well first let me say that with 585k to invest, you are in a totally different league than me and my partners.

The professional investors who play in the big leagues do houses, condo's, flipping, wholesaling, commercial, retail, office, industrial, warehouse, vacation rentals, short term, AIRBNBs, event venue's, and a hundred other strategies.

Now it doesn't require an Ivy League MBA to do that but somehow you need to acquire the knowledge of how the numbers work on an income property deal, before your deposit goes hard.You can hire someone with the knowledge to do the due diligence and number crunching (like us) but even then we educate our clients enough to understand and be comfortable with the numbers in their deals because ultimately it's their money on the line.BTW, these days even single family investors are competing against the real estate MBAs at Blackstone, Colony, Wayne Hughes' outfit and the like who are out there buying up REOs to rent.

I may be way out of my league on this one..

My wife is the painter but she asked me and that's out of my league so here I am! 

My husband asked me why the sudden urge to redo half of the house.. my reply " this guy is good, charges a great price and I am getting all my stuff done before he gets super busy".. he has been  doing this kind of work for about 5 years now on his own, and for 0 years with Champion remodeling and is busy ,but he has that golden tri facta we as landlords/ and investors are all looking for, honest, sober, great work, and a great price..I am almost reluctant to give his number out due to purchasing some investment properties in the spring and I will need him, but will let him know in advance when I need him back..if you would be interested in his information let me know and I will send it out after the first of the year..  

There are a lot of great schools out there and not all of them are classified as Ivy League.

I knew the husband from an adult hockey league and that's how we made the connection.

I realize that my not calling you won't hurt you in the least, so I intend to tell everyone I run into in the grocery store, at church, Boy Scout meetings, Little League games, in fact everyone I meet; that I dont' think they should use your services".Feel free to shorten it to suit your personality.I have and will in the future said/written this to people who didn't value my time or the money they could have earned from my business!

The extra paperwork today is ok but giving up too much personal info can be a pain since (they) banks are in league with the IRS for most part.
