There are a ton of tools and resources that not a lot of people know so doing some YT watching and their training helps immensely. also, happy to answer any questions you might have on set up / operations.

I mentor several people, mostly those who are just starting out.  

Hi Devin, Have you ever considered that instead of America needing smaller homes that are more affordable, that America needs more higher paying jobs so that people can live the actual American dream versus having to settle for less and less and less (Has George Carlin pointed out in his classic speech about this). 

And as mentioned solving problems 4-profit, there is a LOT of $ out there from other high net worth people that is desperate for a good manager.

Do you like people and handling renters and toilets? 

I know most people are going to tell me not to bother, which is fine, but that's not really my question.  

From leaving my home friends and family I met some really good people and I hoped to share that experience and learn more about realestate in the process How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

I never understood why people would have a flip, boost the value by tens of thousands of dollars, then sell it as opposed to keeping the equity and putting a tenant in there. 

Would help if you stated what questions you had so people could reply right away.I have knowledge on HELOANs but not direct experience.

Many people I speak with initially gravitate towards the "cheaper" areas because "numbers are better."
