Buying a single family below market, living in it then refinancing and renting is a good option.Do the research...do you have the skills to renovate a house?

I have family that are general contractors that can do the skilled labor work.5.

If I would have to sell that skill, I would not sell that for 400 bucks!

.- to do a successful brrrr involves a lot of skills.  

@William Coet it’s a different business model altogether.I love highly desirable areas that attract highly skilled high income college educated workforces.They tend to be more liberal and therefore the landlord tenant laws.The percent of their income that goes to rent is typically much less than 20% so a rental increase of 5-10% is nothing to them.They are typically lower cap rate areas and therefore every dollar of net operating income that is earned is explosive to the underlying asset value.

If you have the skills and get the experience, you can get the funding.

From an outside viewer, I would be nervous to work with either one of you, since you are fast to go public with any grievance and the realtor has poor communication skills and has no problem blaming external circumstances for lack of a simple courtesy call.

By resources I would be saying capital, contacts, soft skills, credibility, all of the things that help grow your business and start building a positive reputation. 

I’m looking to learn from someone with some experience or knowledge, and I can use my skills and knowledge to help out for a win - win situation.

Agent and leasing experience can help with negotiation skills, market knowledge, and tenant screening.
