After all, this is real estate, and it would be unrealistic to expect that things like tenant issues or other issues do not ever occur, even in TK or new construction investing.Some notable items to understand:1) This investor independently chose to move forward with this Akron property on his own.

All in all, everything I analyze from wholesalers, independent and large, are only giving about a $20,000 profit.

The only thing the “45% of unsheltered homeless in the USA are in CA” statistic tells us is that more homeless people sleep outside in CA than other states, which makes sense because the weather is warmer there than a lot of other places where homeless people sleep in shelters.

The fairest would be to have an independent executor. 

I personally have my contractor sign a "Independent Contractor Agreement" and I will have it specify the dollar amount of the renovations in the agreement and attach the scope of work to it.

Honda by statistics alone will be reliable for 20 years if maintained.

Quote from @Jim Reynante: After owning properties C/D neighborhoods with high crime statistics, I have experienced all of the things that go along with it: 1) High turnover rate; 2) Tenants that don't care for the property; 3) Little/No appreciation in home value; and 4) High Crime Rate (burglary, vandalism).I am pretty tired of fixing broken windows, fixing broken doors/locks, and painting over graffiti.

I've been an independent broker for 38 years now, and I've always represented myself in real estate transactions - even for out of state transactions where I won't be paid.

You can learn to do this independently or get a rockstar REALTOR to lead the way.
