I am sure there are hundreds if not thousands of people like me across the country saying the same thing.

So I literally fought my backside off by enlisting in the US Army in order to earn college degrees.

This method has worked for thousands of years and is still the best option today.A job in Property Management has a low bar of entry.

If you are just starting out, get your finances in good shape because it's likely going to be death by a thousand cuts getting a property to market. 

Hopefully they accept the increase because it sounds like it will cost you thousands to turn it over for a new tenant.

Only one is likely to be, and the others may be several thousand lower.

you could look for opportunities with reverse mortgages in default (backwards marketing) and tax defaulted property (the last group can be difficult to sift and sort due to large quantities).In the end, you’ll do much better focusing on solving problems that others cannot or are not willing to solve (hoarding, squatters, liquidity, defective title, skips, etc.).BTW, I started with working foreclosures (1978) and then deceased owner and title-impaired property about (35) years ago and have closed several thousand deals to date.  

I have already spent fifteen thousand dollars for a program that didn’t show me how to get financing for my deals and I am broke seriously broke like don’t know where I’m going to get money to feed my family broke and I am HUNGRY in more ways than one this means the world to me I have to make this work so please if anyone can help me find private money lenders that will take a chance on me let me know I know I will make us a lot of money because I have.

Good contractors are a precious commodity and any investor who has spent years and tens of thousands of dollars on contractors form hell will not feel motivated to share those with a stranger on the internet.

He sells them for tens of thousands a pop and generates revenue of over $1M a year and has no overhead except his electric bill in his basement for the lighting, a part time employee and of course the food.
