It has taken four months.Unfortunately, when probate is involved, the process can absolutely drag out.

The older I get the more deeply I feel connected to this idea of only being involved in Win-Win situations. 

A 12-month lease means stable cash flow, fewer turnovers, and minimal involvement, especially if you use a property manager.

Rent: Stabilizing the Property for Cash FlowOnce the property is rehabbed, the next step is to find tenants and begin generating rental income.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

What are you doing for those who want to learn and how can I get involved?! 

Prioritize your financial stability.

Every youtube video I find when searching this problem involves someone replacing or moving an electric box that either hasn't been wired yet or is re-wired.

It really all depends on the amount of risk you want to involve yourselves in. 

Then involve a GC once you understand the scope of work.
