Throw in some extra costs like moving expenses, professional photos (a cost the STR PM may also need to pay depending on the quality of the existing photos), renter's and lessor's insurance and a listing on furnishedfinder to round out some of the start-up costs.

Then, the program is designed to help people get back on their feet not subsides their rent forever like other programs.

And yes, it may be a good idea to work for a wholesaler first to get your feet wet.I don't think it's necessary to spend money to get your real estate license first. 

Also, it seems fairly safe for someone like myself- looking for a first investment and of course building wealth, but perhaps even more, trying to "get my feet wet" and learn the processes while getting a feel for real estate.

Either way, my goal is to finally get in the game and start getting my investor feet wet. 

The vacant lot next to it was purchased in 2005 and encroaches 26.5 feet of the house.

hello,i just purchased a property.  One of the closets has this hideuos foam column.  I have no idea what this is.  Any idea what this is, and any recos on how I can cover up this foam column?

The property is 2 stories and 15,000 square feet and was constructed in 2005.

I just gave him some easy round numbers on the deal, and he said it looks great.

I normally just do new construction on these pemb, so I have never done an actual modification of an existing pemb to increase the square feet.
