Kong is very good so is the Flipman  different styles..LOL  keep in mind "wholesale to millions" AKA Kong Le does a life tape on Friday look at most recent too. 

I am in the process of buying a bank owned REO which need some renovation work and so I will be doing the Home style renovation loan.

my suspicion (I havent gotten access yet) is that these three small cottage style rentals are not on seperate meters, and owner is paying utilities... therefore got solar... which I dont like... in Ca... people blast AC and behave like kids with their power if they arent paying it... 

NYC uses a magic formula (statistical analysis) to figure out how much your property is worth based on comparing size, style, and age of your unit with your neighborhood. 

You have something most do not have.As for saving for investing the best option is to adjust your life style. 

I’m wanting a modern style, not standard modular/standard home looking. 

The best books I've read about commercial real estate include "The Best Real Estate Syndication Book Ever by Joe Fairless" and "The Real Book of Real Estate by Robert Kiyosaki" Even if you're not trying to syndicate anything, read the first one because it'll teach you a ton about buying commercial sized properties.

It's hard at first because no one likes to admit they are the cause of their own struggles, but it's useful because it can teach you that the cause of your own success falls only on you as well. 

So I decided to make another post and ask completely different question: is there any list of online paid mentors (consultants), who I could hire to help/teach me with what I want in entirely online based real estate business?

Once you’re in the trenches, you can find all kinds of trainings to refresh you and teach you the things you’ll use the most.
