@Brad Mylius Hondros has a weekend only course...kind of exhausting sacrificing your weekends, but it's not a bad option...that's the way I did it...seemed to work well. 

I've run a kitchen for years. 70 - 80 hour weeks regularly that are physically and mentally (most kitchen employees are not the most functional adults, it's partly a babysitting job) exhausting.

If you have water heaters exhausting up interior chimneys then be aware of possible leakage.Recognize that every job which you have to do has the potential to spiral into others- I have found a number of patchwork jobs when we went to do work that necessitated doing more work than anticipated. 

If you have exhausted the friends and family list, next step would be to find brokers active in the market and property type. 

If you project that in a downturn, your expenses can withstand a drop in rent, so you're protected.

That said, your siding should be able to withstand virtually any amount of water.

Me, personally, I'd rather pay for only what I actually get, and I'd like to see who I hire get paid for what they do - no extra money, and no losses.Does line 5 (exhaust hood) include the hood itself? 

It was actually fun (And exhausting)!   

Additionally, I feel calling my contacts up on the weekly to discuss listings without being able to physically see the properties may exhaust the relationship.Have any of you faced this challenge, and if so, what techniques did you use to help overcome this?

How much a lost of income I could withstand and for how long before my portfolio collapsed.
