It will likely still continue being a difficulty.You mentioned bills, are they credit card bills?

I’ve worked across various sectors of real estate, from residential to commercial properties, and I’ve built a solid foundation in sourcing, evaluating, and negotiating deals.Currently, I am leading R&H Capital, a division of my LLC, Property Pulse LLC, which focuses on raising capital for real estate acquisitions.

To answer your questions here though:Alternative options - I was going to sell all my stocks and etfs, take out a HELOC, and some credit cards to try to shoestring together enough to the deal without a hard money loan. 

There are also ways to go about mindset shifts if that's a serious issue, but I don't know, it sounds like you've spent time with this property, you know all about it, and you have a bunch of other stuff going on in life.For instance, you decide not to raise rent all the way to market rate....This is probably a good move if you hate maintenance calls and your tenants know to handle some maintenance themselves because they are getting a bargain deal.

For now, my immediate goal is to pay off all of my credit card debt (should be accomplished by February 1.), and continue to educate myself on NOI, Cap rate, cash-on -cash return etc.BP community, I am open-minded, willing to take initiative, always willing to be taught something new, but also ready to share any experience or knowledge I have that can help someone else. 

Putting in a ramp, adding grab bars in bathroom, raising the sink height, etc.  

Personal raise How did you add value to the deal?

An update one year later after this post, I now have:- Got my property and casualty license and wrote 370+ policies in a year- Saved up a few more thousand dollars in investable cash, paid off $20K in debt and raised my credit score by 100 points- Launched a direct to seller cold email marketing campaign and generated leads for cheap- Got connected with a few real estate investing communities like Subtle Asian Real Estate and Pace Morby's SubTo- Aggressively read and studied as much as I can get my hands onThat being said, I decided to run a marketing campaign to generate distressed seller leads in Phoenix, Arizona, mostly because:1.

If you are doing long term rentals and raising rents, you will have turnover of a significant number of tenants after their year of renting when you raise their rent.
