I had a job and recently lost it.

I’m beginning my journey into real estate investing with the goal like many of you of generating passive income and discovering financial freedom without having to rely on a “day-job” for much longer, so I can travel more and spend more time with my young kids/family.

I have a good job as a corporate CPA, I’m not looking to leave that to go full time necessarily, more looking to build toward an early retirement in 15 years (dream scenario). 

Ask both sanborn what scope of work they did, how long the job took, why they think the client chose them, and what they think the client would say could have been better.  

Your job is at the absolute bottom of their priority list...probably not even on their list.

I have moved away from my W2 job and living off of investment income (rental + stock portfolio).

Sure- get a full time job, buy a small multifamily, live in one of the units and then repeat that process every year for the next 10 years.

I would if I were you, get contractors to bid the job from licensed and non-licensed contractors.

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

I have become a serial Passive Investor; at first I like my job, now retired and I like my free time.
