If it's still raining outside, if you can get the carpets in a garage and under industrial drying fans, you may still be able to get them dry.6) if the water soaked any drywall, you'll need to cut that drywall out and throw it out.7) rent a bunch of industrial drying fans from home depot/lowes (they are specifically designed to dry up houses that were flooded, and soaked carpet.

This first property is going to be a house hack so I figured I would learn some adult activities and cut the grass myself.

My aim is to not only profit financially but to gain in the process some intangible assets, such as project management skills, getting to know reliable professionals (i.e. realtors, contractors, designers, etc.) for the long-term, getting acquainted with the local market's promises and pitfalls, and basically adding some entrepreneurial muscle going into my next project.My strategy is to go small: find a second-hand apartment in a good location (I don't have enough funds for a GREAT location...); no more than 60-70 m2 (that's about 650-750 f2) to, among other things, lower renovation costs; 1-2 bedrooms, street facing and with a lift (if said apartment is above the second floor); with good bones, i.e., needs only partial renovation.

Since you're just starting out, look for credit cards designed for people with limited or no credit history.

As far as what I do, I am a funding specialist and work closely with real estate investors to raise capital tax-free by using a specially designed holding account that grows your money between 5%-10% of interest and when it is time for you to pull the trigger on the next property purchase, you will enjoy a much lower lending rate of 3.5% - 4.5% on time for their next property.I've been doing this for 9 years and have worked closely with real estate investors for the last 4 and a half.About my future goals, I am interested in partnerships with other investors within the local area (Bay Area).

Get one that is designed to be pushed up in an emergency so people can escape a fire.

Absent a clause in a trust that provides for a beneficiary to designate powers of sale (or will, if that’s the controlling document) then you are just an interested buyer party.  

For example, I mention that every adult must pay a $30 application fee, pass my credit/criminal background, make a combined income of 3x the rent, and whether or not the property accepts pets.

I wonder as a strategy you could buy properties and each property is a designated expense.

Panelists discussed a myriad of topics, including financing, deal structure, product type and design.
