. ;-) I've bought a couple of probates but I found them driving for dollars (unkempt properties) and then tracked down the status. 

I was able to drive the value through my effort and sell for a profit.

My opinion and belief about it is if you don't have the intelligence or drive to figure it out on your own then it is probably not something you should get involved with.

Appreciation will drive your returns, not cash flow.

So, the total base move-in costs would be $2500, all paid prior to lease signing.Since choosing a place to live is a very personal decision, please feel free to do a “drive by” of the property, located at 123 Main St., so you can get a feel for the neighborhood.

Other risks, the contractor walking off the job, a storm hitting and delaying the project for weeks, someone breaking into the home and stealing stuff (which happened just the other day to a client of mine), a squatter, or drunk driver driving into the house (happened a lot at my old job as a firefighter lol).

Or $30,000+ by EOY 2025.If you don't like Bartending, how about being a waiter, busboy, driving for uber, or some other side gig? 

Right now, I’m focused on breaking into multifamily properties and building connections with investors who share the same drive.

Class D is mostly rentals (another tip to look at owner occupied stats and/or if the neighborhood is identified for revitalization), the tenants are outside smoking, they are talking to neighbors and solicitors, it is a completely different vibe that is pretty noticeable just driving through.
