I’m buying a 3 bedroom 1 bath single family home... it has a new steel roof but needs windows.

As long as you're OK with that offsetting of various risks depending on where the local market and local economy trend then I'd still consider buying.

If that's the case, I would highly recommend you trend very carefully and focus more so on whether what they teach adheres to Dodd-Frank and SAFE, aka major federal laws on residential financing transactions.

Press steel wool  into even the tiniest of openings, then cover with spackle. 

Ask them what area of town they believe has reasonable prices for properties, isn't a war zone (or would be good for a first time land lord), and is trending in the right direction. 

You will stay current on trends in the market, financing, etc. 4.

@Jay Hinrichs I’m 25 work in the steel mill near me make pretty good money and have been saving a couple years I just feel like I’ll be old by the time I could actually afford a big building.

Try to do some due diligence and look at the trends for the last 30 years to find out what might happen. 

For the past couple of years, after noticing a really disturbing trend in the marketing practices of Turnkey companies, I've started focusing my talks on how companies can use good marketing practices and how investors can cut straight through the crap and eliminate companies that deliberately lie in their marketing.I am going to give every out of state investor looking to buy Turnkey properties or even looking to hire property management two quick lessons and five tips on good due diligence.First, ask questions. 

So I'm not really betting on any positive market trend that would lead to better-than-inflation appreciation (so no icing on the cake I believe)Thanks again
