Fast forward 20 years: I now have money in the bank, excellent credit, live modestly on my own, and run a business that’s doing well.Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to save much for retirement during most of my life.

You can't run a credit/criminal without the social.

The real wealthy people are quiet, unassuming, running their business and not their mouths.Keep networking, educating, and growing.

Quote from @Devin James: When running numbers on an investment property, I focus more on equity growth than monthly cash flow.Here’s why:If I can acquire a property at a low basis and add significant value, I can: 1) Sell and reinvest elsewhere 2) Cash-out refinance to recapture my investment.

Besides frozen pipes in the winter, there's also sump pumps that if not running, could flood a basement and cause major mold damage. 

On the other hand I don’t want to be cheap and losing money in the long run bc I’m not properly fixing things.

Would a home equity loan be a viable option in this situation, especially in regards to eliminating some of the red tape I'm running into with a refinancing an scorp-owned property?

What do people do when they run out of funds (liquidated credit cards and family members assistance)?  

To live multiple states away and run a string of successful C-class long-distance BRRRRs anywhere in the Rust Belt is practically impossible.

It will be a run down apartment building before long.
