Paint and carpet are tough enough to organize remotely.

Feel free to inquire about their staff qualifications if it's a larger organization.2.

@Karen Margrave Im still interested in coming to the meetups that you were organizing.

If she's 70 and still working, my guess is it is not a high paying job and she should have some pension she's also getting.As Kevin mentioned, there are a lot of charitable organizations that will help people out in this situation, especially if they are seniors. 

The NAIC—the National Association of Insurance Commissioners—is the regulatory support organization created and governed by the chief insurance regulators in the United States.5.

They also appreciate honesty and transparency so they can make decisions fast without any surprises.Some of the top skills that you can focus on are:Comping: Knowing your comps inside out is a must.Negotiation: Being able to connect with sellers and strike a good deal is huge.Networking: Relationships with buyers, agents, and other wholesalers are invaluable.Also, Get to know your local market being able to talk the talk in your area will help a lot.

It could be some sort of skill set for renovations, design for furnished rentals, specific market knowledge, owner occupied loan products for a house hack, etc. 

We used our own cash we had no private investors.The other critical part was that we negotiated a 3 year wind down if our bank did not renew this was critical in 09 it allowed for a semi organized wind down that most of us in the HML space were doing in 09 to 2011 with all of our defaulted loans..

Some of us have a lot of experience and could make that $20k stretch into something, but we have skills you don't.

You have to value your time, leverage your skills, and execute a long or short term play.
