We've learned a lot along the way, but never tackled anything we weren't prepared to manage at that point of our journey, which helped control the time and stress.

If they move out the last day of Oct, I will ideally have a new tenant ready to move in on 11/1, but that would not allow me any time to tackle these items?

:)I toured the house and this one actually has some issues that I don't feel very comfortable tackling since this would be my very first property.

Which is actually good because I got a chance to see how someone else tackled this problem. 

Watch some Youtube videos and see if its something you think you want to try to tackle.

Seems to be a really great way for accredited investors to vet and tackle syndication deals in an almost team-like fashion. 

If anyone has had a similar situation or knows how to best tackle this problem.

Once that is taken care of then you can tackle it from there.

In the meantime get good at budgeting and living below your means, focus on yourself and be ready to tackle the real estate game when the time is right.

@Llewelyn A. has a great story of a friend who invested out of state and got out priced of the city because his rent kept going up but his investment didn't keep up..Your father is also right closer to home you can tackle problems and learn...There are also programs you can get into and area's you can invest in other then downtown, bedsty, williamsburg ect. where you can still do pretty good...
