I had a contractor estimate our kitchen to renovate and priced us $40-50k..so I decided to do it myself with my husband.Instead of changing the kitchen cabinets coz they look like we're in the 80's we painted them all white.The backsplash is the problem..I thought I could handle it but the material didn't stick that long in the wall..everyday I would see pieces falling apart!

I have a clause in the promissory note, in cases of default, i will become the lien holder for the underlying property.instead of sitting an waitng why don't you buy some good perfroming notes those are available every day and you don't have to wait and are vetted with good borrowers.. returns are a few bps less but for the most part with most folks I suspect they will do better than trying NPN on their own. 

I look for investment properties all day, every day.

Theft from vacant homes is typically not covered on any carriers policy and the threshold where vandalism becomes theft can be vague to someone who does not do insurance every day. 

I always knew I needed to be something more than a drone that goes to my job every day.

You don't want to disturb your tenants with showings every day. 

Every day, I would google a specific area of real estate and learn more about it.While you read a lot, attend as many open houses of properties for sale in your area  as possible. 

I have been listening to the podcast on the way to work and at work everyday since I found it, great information. 

Feel free to say I am in over my head since that's what my wife is telling me all day, every day.

Hey Dude.Remember, every day you are researching and learning is a day you didn't make a deal!
