Congrats on your transition from renter to homeowner.

I love how you mentioned after your transition, you had to build from nothing.

You'll develop a big network which will then make the transition very easy into your other business.

If over plaster and it has never been painted the cost is higher as you need to sheetrock or smooth coat the plaster.I just removed wallpaper over plaster in one apartment that had rough coat only and it was pricey but for most places I would sheetrock.

When I first got my license I set a goal of 1 year to transition from my day job to RE full time.

I'm looking to do this first deal with no money out of my pocket (because I don't have the funding to do so) and my research has led me to transitional funding to show my proof of funds.

Once up and running things have been generally smooth with one small dollar dispute on repairs.

I had to appear several times as a Registered Creditor's Representative in BK, all of mine went smoothly, but not every creditor is that good or lucky.

Once I got over the picky inspections it's been smooth sailing.Overall, if you're a good screener, you shouldn't have a problem.
