I want to increase my personal income to help fund a second rental, but my career limits me mainly to remote jobs and gigs.I’m curious if there are any other investors out there that started with a similar skill set to mine, and what other skills they developed to help increase their W2 income and to help build their real estate knowledge and experience? 

I positioned mine near Case Western Reserve University and the hospital system, and that has been a major advantage.

I've seen investors, including one who I worked with in Austin, comfortably meet the 100-hour rule once they took over management.Funny enough, a friend of mine had a similar deal in Scottsdale a while back, where they had to honor existing rentals.

My spouse and I didn’t learn our lesson here and took on a second partner in a real estate/restaurant operation and ended up again having to have legal action to sever the partnership when it failed.

I was told by an associate of mine that they were charged an additional $15,000 at closing due to a "title fee" on top of the ones you listed.

Got mine all straightened out w/ StateFarm thankfully, and they had admitted it all to be a false alarm.

Analyze deals like a pro using the 1% rule and understand operating expenses before making an offer.

Mine have all been in the Space Coast (Melbourne, Rockledge, Melbourne Beach and Indialantic)2.

@Jennifer Taylor First  answer this: Do you currently operate your properties with all proper permits and licenses?

I’d reccomend figuring out value of your time and then thinking about much time it’ll take you from an operations perspective and divy out % that way.
