My biggest hurdle has been securing financing to work on multiple projects simultaneously.  

Instead of increasing rent, I would look at having the security deposit increased to protect against wear and tear.

(I test concrete poured at job sites to ensure it meets required specifications) And as I said in my response to Caleb that job is pretty time intensive so I don’t really see working a second or third job as a possibility if I still want to have time to educate myself and stay rested.

I have several questions - imagine being able to split up property ownership into tiny pieces or having every transaction out there for everyone to see, all secure and tamper-proof.

However, it wasn’t clear if lawn care, snow removal, and ongoing maintenance costs are included, as they were initially listed as $0.I’ll clarify with the seller exactly what’s included in their reported expenses to ensure we have a complete picture of recurring costs and any potential gaps.the seller dropped the price from 798k to 645k.

While providing ID isn’t unusual in some cases, ensure the property checks out before sharing personal information.

Hello @Michael Dallas,To verify the seller’s information, ensure you request these essential documents:Rent Roll (to confirm rental income and occupancy)Lease Agreements (to review tenant terms)Financial Statements (past 1-2 years, including income and expenses)Property Tax StatementsUtility Bills (if applicable)Maintenance Records and recent CAPEX reportsInsurance Policy DetailsInspection Reports (any recent or previous reports)These will help you confirm the property’s income, expenses, and condition.

I continue to pad my social security contributions full-time with the hopes of maximizing my retirement benefits.

Was is secured by the property? 

I have a MTR near Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals, and I found it was a bit tougher than I expected to secure tenants.
