You need more houses , go out and pound the pavement and find more 

Sounds like there are really some people not only driving for dollars but pounding the pavement.http://www.philly.com/philly/news/Gentrification_in_Philadelphia.html

I'd guess that with either job you'll be hard pressed to have the time to actively invest in real estate on the side unless you're able to find properties that are basically hands-off, or you drink a heart-pounding amount of coffee.

I'm sure there are plenty of guys out there that have never pounded a nail or even wired an outlet and are making it as inspectors - but you won't know things in the same way or as well as an experienced construction expert will. 

Listen to this man.An ounce of prevention worth a pound of cure

Your not wrong but yeowzers, you threw out the lube, wrapped it in 60 grit and just dry pounded that like a gorilla.

My standard weight limit is 35 pounds per pet.

HI Johnny,If you want to duplicate, you need to be able to get control of big things at low prices, fix them up, and run them so people desire them and that will make them worth more.Like woody wood pecker pounding your nose into the tree until it finally it turns into saw dust--work hard--doing whatever it takes--and never giving up.Also, it's not just what you know (that's important), it's who you know, and who knows you.https://www.youtube.com/watch?

Worth it paying a little more:  - Minimal extra on mortgage, 80% of this is financed anyway, plus more mortgage means more equity paydown  - Less problems as far as area crime  - Excellent schools  - Longer-term tenants (you save a LOT by not doing a turnover every year and having a 3-year tenant)  - Better appreciation (vs. nonexistent in your c/c- classes)Don't be penny wise and pound-foolish, i.e. don't cling to the C class for another $50-75/month in rent while you leave a $5k annual benefit off the table. 

This is not the place to be penny wise and pound foolish or to get your legal information from an unknown internet source.
