I met an investor locally who owns a condo in Nature's Hideaway and he became president there even though he doesn't live in the association.

So naturally I start trying to look in to owner info.

I'd put the sod down, get a different handyman, he doesn't sound to handy, or willing to put down sod.Fall sod usually does well, I did a whole back yard and had the sod company install it, done in a day.Mother nature might be kind and in your favor on this. 

That will come naturally if he sees interest or offers up alternative ideas.  

Since I don't have a lot of money now, I am trying to jumpstart things by wholesaling until I get the money to incorporate flips and then use both to finance my rentals.

Any granite/natural stone budget recommendation around Cleveland?

It just does and its because of human nature.

Xavier Wharton , plenty of non-real estate books on the topic and lots of research from Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, etc.However, the content is geared towards managing larger organizations/corporations and I used to read them when I had oversight of 600 people in corporate America.

I've been brainstorming for a while now and maybe it's just a natural aversion to risk, but it seems like the only option is to hold where I am and get back financial footing before moving on to the next purchase.Any help is appreciated!

Such is the nature of investing.
