That said, you live in a college town so if you're able to buy up some solid student housing at good prices, all the more power to you - it's certainly easier than having to build up a team from hundreds of miles away!

Build up cash and wait on the sidelines.

Maybe he's always been a slob bachelor that just let things build up.

It does not look like mold-there is no build up visible......looks like aging or the metal surfaces.

I'm a local northern Nevada real estate investor looking to build up my network more, let me know preferred investment vehicle and what you can bring to the table (I.e. skill/trade, money, investment, ...) and I'll see if I can find a fit for you.

I am in the Dallas Texas area and am looking too start at wholesaling to gain capital for my rental property business, does anybody know any whole sale meetup groups or workshops to build up my buyers or partner list ?

@Evan Polaski for now I plan on HML with a down payment until I build up enough cash to purchase outright (with a cash reserve for emergencies).I just got my LLC created so by the time I get the banking and preapproval lined up and the insurance I'll be a little closer to coming home.

The BRRRR method is a great way to quickly build up your portfolio. 

@Robert Biggerstaff, it’s a really interesting question and touches on a few key topics.1) You likely need to be active to start with and to build up capital but in order to scale you have to automate, delegate and systematize your active pursuits or take a more passive approach by investing in others deals2) Setting a pure financial goal is a good start but it can be even more powerful to state your goal in terms of what it will enable in your life I.e. what will happen when you hit $50k a month, will you then not be happy until you are at $100k per month.Good luck!

@Yuhei Kato I would not rush towards a second home until you build up better finances.
