I'm getting up there in age and feel like I'm getting a late start, so I'm looking to avoid any unnecessary steps along the way.

I do feel like Haverhill is much in the "path of progress" than comparable areas like Lowell and Lawrence, so it's a city on my radar for sure.

This included modernizing the kitchen with high-end appliances, upgrading bathrooms with spa-like features, and adding hardwood floors for a luxury feel Lessons learned?

I feel quite intimidated only seeing people with large followings and MULTIPLE properties.

I like using these for just this case.Another item to consider is since this is a 2nd floor I wouldn't be that worried since the 1st floor will heat the 2nd floor enough to not allow frozen pipes.I would also talk to an HVAC person because I believe they can also put a device to cycle the heat a few times a day or even put a secondary thermostat in the apt to take care of the minimum issues.I feel for you because otherwise you have a great tenant.

Still, my soft heart left my head feeling pretty rough, like a "failure".I don't think with your experience and 17(!)

I have done some research, but I’ve found that many mentors and coaches are asking for significant fees, which feels like a large financial commitment, especially as a newcomer to real estate investing.

If you’ve been keeping an eye on the real estate market, you might be feeling a little unsure about whether now is the right time to invest.

I feel like I just analyze every option and then never have confidence to do anything.
