Great job!!

@Chloe Salcedo investing in real estate is not a full-time job.

I just lost my job a few days ago, the reason for picking any state nothing tying me down to this area.

We review yearly with our CPA who files the necessary forms.By law, IRAs require a custodian.

This can be done, it just requires finding the right lender.

This way they can't claim ignorance.I would also require a move out inspection and make it the day after they are supposed to be moved out. 

With the future being so uncertain I realized there was a need to do more than just rely on my job for financial security. 

My contractor mentioned he might've left them since he felt bad about up and leaving the job. 

The sellers had put so much pots, plants, planters and shrubs out that I thought there were too many plants/planters that would require a new owner to upkeep.After a few potential buyer tours/showings, the owner heard all the comments (via the security cameras) about how there was a "lot going on with the plants and stuff out front".

A great way to get started if you currently have a W2 job is to buy a house hack like a duplex or a fourplex where you can move into one of the units and continue to rent/manage the other units.
