@Jordan Laney Asking what others pay for snow removal and comparing your yearly spend to past years is not productive.

Most of them that are successful like a Tony Robbins etc they make HUGE Money Millions upon Millions with their training and backing certain products..

You could probably put in the lease that all items needing hanging must be done with the removable hook/tape type products. 3M has a bunch where you pull on the tape and it releases. 

It more likely may be found with a local investor/teacher doing “hands on” mentoring himself and not through an organization run like a production line. 

Two, you'll have a much easier time obtaining a mortgage product if you have a track record of W2 income.In the meantime, continue implementing the strategies you mentioned: save religiously, build your credit, pay any existing debt owed, etc.

Quote from @Andrew Steffens: I am curious what products exist?

Most rental properties in Milwaukee are old and run down, our product stands out. 

Reflecting on the last 20+ yrs, when we could cash flow immediately with low cost sfr, had we gone with the higher priced properties and significantly lower cash flow, more debt, we could not have achieved IRRs even close to what the lower end product has delivered, nor paid off the investments. 

Wouldn't hurt to look in to both to give yourself the best chance at finding the best loan product. 

Same experiences as above....great product with very helpful customer service and they always seem to be adding new features.
