CapEx, vacancy, taxes, maintenance), he is left with about $200 to spare.

Sometimes they are very complex for me to understand, many legal documents, many clauses....I have some tech background, with some spare time.

All of my three spare units are currently occupied.

Due to my limited spare time I am leaning towards the buy and hold strategy.

While we didn't in VB, we know many people who rented out all their spare rooms.

Luckily, I was not the owner yet when that happened so I was spared from that headache.

In my spare time I had done some wholetailing (i.e., send out mail, purchase houses by means of cash, subject-to, and/or seller financing, then sell for profit).Now, I have left teaching and made the decision to pursue my goal of full-time real estate entrepreneurship. 

Leaving me with no spare time for  major renovation.For some reason i still belive buy and hold is great ,but it is not in my best interest.

The challenge I face now, is actually finding someone who would be able to privately loan me money, who actually has spare capital reserves..

It took me 3 years and I reinvested all my income from my rental properties and what I could spare from my primary income.
