If you're passionate about real estate investing, you'll probably see value and have ideas that no one else will understand.

It seems to me that they're not as passionate about real estate.

I am a big fan of the Chicago controls auto setback thermostat.

I have a very solid knowledge of construction and have a passion to share/teach others and see them grow as well.WHAT I WANT TO LEARN:I am an awkwardly tall (1" shorter than @beardybrandon) sponge.

They also are big fans of 20yr AM's as well.

The other type of calls I get are, "would you pay to replace this ceiling fan" or "can I paint this room".

Got to know the market and your financialsNot a big fan of long leases unless you have a 5 star tenant and BIG rock solid penalties for breaking it....and confidence that you will be able to collect that $$ if they break it...which is rare.How are your other expenses on the property?

*t hits the fan" back up plan.

Completely redid flooring, painted inside and out, new appliances, fixtures, fans, doors back fence, added back porch, trimmed trees.

@Matthew PaulI take my boys to my projects as well. 8 yr old can assemble a ceiling fan in 20 minutes, 9 yr old can paint an entire room and hang blinds.
