As the process goes, we find a "good deal" in some area, maybe make an improvement or 2 to the "deal", and if all goes well, we sit back watch the fruits of our labor grow through rental income, increased property value or equity.

(If you went to school for like underwater basket weaving and get a position as a coal miner that wouldn’t work out the same but other than that you should be solid once you get the position filled) Also we have a connection with a lender that has some fabulous programs depending on what exactly you went to school for, it’s mainly for anyone “licensed in healthcare in the state of Indiana” happy to help make the introduction 

Maybe extra counter space to setting baskets and folding.

I do have quite a bit of capital going into my investing venture, however, I fully plan on playing it smart and not throwing all of my eggs into one basket.

One observation I will note is the immense growth in vineyards and wineries in Traverse City - I feel as though that'll be fruitful in the long-run. 

I found a house that needs a bit of updating and probably not the best deal as it was on the MLS but at least not a complete basket case for my first deal.

For finding the money, most people would say creative finance, but IMO that is low hanging fruit.

Sometimes it just takes a little time before the investment starts to bear fruit.

FSBO's are not exactly low hanging fruit, but a lot of agents make a damn good living with them.2.

Have 790+ FICO, about $30k reserves and will be at least six months into a steady 36-45K job when I apply but tax returns for the last few years are a basket case from low income while I got 20s wanderlust out of my system on long hiking trips.
