I do, however, advise waiting until you are able to find or create a great deal that you can afford before investing, and those type of deals don't just fall into your lap, you must work and actively seek them out ... the sooner and harder you start looking for them, saving for them, and educating yourself on how to spot and find them, then the sooner you will find them.

Robert Mittendorf posting is spot on, I also have a SDIRA that is sole member and funded my LLC which I am only a manager of said LLC.

Other than the carpets, does the spot wash off with a cleaning solution?

@Tori Smith, sounds like you're in a tough spot.

One paid the rent on the spot and thanked me the other asked if they can pay it next week and I said yes

or is the deed given to me on spot after purchase?

Ryan's got the down low on info from staking out a spot at the local coffee shop to make friends and find out where the area is gong.Do us a favor Ryan and give us an idea why Euclid is a good market for you?  

But, my understanding is that, most importantly, I'd have built up home equity with this purchase and will be in a better spot financially to purchase a home for myself, once I'm ready.

I think the blogger is spot on about quality in demand real estate winning out over time.  

Painting - there are holes from hanging pictures and some spots that need touched up.
