Even deleting the Builder left me 30% higher than I expected on this small, custom home. 

Example setup:Person A is time & energy partner - no capital contributed, will be finding the deal and managing the property.

I'm hanging in there and building a strong relationship to build my rental portfolio and care for my customers. 

Also there's something like Avestor where you can re-invest on top of SPV ( kinda of ETF/mutual fund of syndicator)..but the holding are not that great either although you can customize which fund you want to invest.So after thousand and thousand of email.

And if I was one of your clients, I would much rather you put your energy into defending me in court, then learning how to properly patch, sand, tape, and prep the walls for painting.I personally have painted a couple of my own projects, but I had the time and somewhat knowledge and experience, and also had run to the bottom of my budget at those times.A few tips/comments which may be helpful:*  As someone else previously posted - gets multiple quotes (3-5)* Ask you fellow realtor friends/associates for painter referrals* Check NextDoor.com for painter referrals* Go to the professional paint stores (Dunn-Edwards, Benjamin Moore, etc) and ask them for referrals.

It could be worth considering a shot at an actual software solution built for DIY landlords (1 - 15 units); one that helps you to automate your own rental process (ie. compared to other tools, one that helps you to actually get it listed on 10+ major listing sites, allows you to schedule showings, provides you with super thorough tenant screening options, online digital leases which can be customized and help you by breaking out those fees, automated maintenance tracking, and fast rent collection which also offers your tenants the ability to report their positive on-time payments to the major credit bureaus; just another positive reinforcement/added incentive to get them to make those payments on time).

I recently came across Saskatoon Cabinets and was impressed by their kitchen cabinet renovations and they do custom cabinets as well.

It's quite funny when you call them out on their BS scare tactics in front of their customers. 

The reason for that is because each door will need to be custom made. 

Save some money on the down payment so you can put more down on other investment properties.I will tell you the same thing I tell all of my customers, If you cannot find a 2-4 unit or investment properties that will cash flow out of the gate - Look at other states.
