I have some experience and quite enjoy adding value to properties (I have done so to my current residence).

Look, I want my renters to enjoy a warm pool in the winter months and stay cool in the summer, but these utility bills are eating away at our income....Anyone have any ideas about managing this issue more effectively?

There is a lot of great info and a wealth of knowledge on here, so take advantage of it and enjoy the journey!

I am pending on a duplex that already has existing tenants in the lower level, they have been there 3 years, always paid rent, and after meeting them really seemed to be nice people that enjoy living there. 

Though I will be able to make a comfortable living working my current job alone, I don't want to put all my eggs in one basket nor do I want to work for somebody else for 40-60 hours a week until I'm too old to enjoy the fruits of my labor.I'd love to connect with and get to know who else is investing in this region, especially those of you following the BRRRR model!  

I am currently working as a nurse and although I do enjoy my job it isn't what I want to do forever.

I enjoy every detail of fixing and flipping very much, from rethinking the layout to choosing the color scheme. 

One of the podcasts I enjoyed was the Grant Cardone one.. i think it was 108 

I was a carpenter for several years and enjoy getting my hands dirty - the plan is to be the owner/builder, sub out a fair amount of the construction, but add value by doing a fair amount of the planning and some of the building myself.
