Some of the easiest deals my dad did were taking a large piece of land and subdividing it into smaller pieces and then selling them off individually.

I'm someone who does well with coaching and direction so trying to piece things together on my own has kept my investing journey in a hold pattern of learning.  

.- You will have to come out of pocket for the arears, fees etc, just to get into "contract" some times $20k or more and all you have as protection is the word of someone who's proven to be unreliable and a signed piece of paper... 

You are a real piece of work. 

One last piece of advice—don’t rush.

Those can be had for 3-5 bucks a piece after summer so easy to replace.Waffle makers.

Is in there, but a great thing you can do now is get your "core 4" figured out - agent/lender/manager/contractor - obviously you can adjust this and do one of the pieces yourself (self-manage for example) or don't need a contractor if you do only turnkey etc but getting this nailed down early is key

A client of mine recently invested there and raves aboutt the ease of finding solid contractors who stick to the budget.One piece of advice: before jumping into any market, spend time understanding the local economy, demand drivers (like job growth and population trends), and the landloard laws.

Any thoughts on the RE prof piece? 

As I piece this all together, I can’t help but feel we’re standing at a crossroads.
