Maybe our company is just buying properties in need of more renovation per unit than most investors will tackle?

The first thing Account Closed should do, from what I've learned, is take six months of living expenses out of her inheritance and sock it away in an emergency account and pretend it doesn't exist - she's already shared with us that they have a very high cost of living and low savings, which means that if it weren't for this inheritance, they might be like me and may have a hard time weathering a bad car breakdown or a hospital trip with their current income, let alone a huge real estate investment going awry and really hurting their livelihood.Once you have those accounted for, and you've identified the scope of the property you'd like to tackle, you'll want to put away some reserves for it ahead of time just to make sure you don't have zero set aside for Week 1 issues.

As such, performing notes have seemed to be the likely route, but I’m definitely not afraid to tackle something non-performing if the returns are worth it. 

I did reach out to Chad at Banner Drywall but I just have a very small section that doesn't meet their minimum :/Was hoping to get a referral of someone who does drywall on the side or a smaller company who could tackle it. 

To find deals you have to cold call and advertise yourself so why not offer an additional service to other investors on the deals you prospect, but don't wan't by listing them on the MLS and collecting $$$/ contacts.You could really tackle this anyway you wan't, but if your goal is to replace your income than REI will become your job and if REI is your job you are basically an agent without a certification.

I still feel like I'm far too much of a rookie to tackle that hurdle yet.

It is inspirational to see someone tackle a property like this.

Need a more sophisticated multivariate analysis to tackle this interesting subject.Good job.Sam Shueh

If I can find a good deal I might just do that, since it would tackle two birds with one stone.Although I'm loving the idea of getting my own place somewhere along the foothills in Boise, crazy pretty there.

Interested in 1-4 units that I can either tackle myself or with a partner in the Durham, NC or Johnson City, TN markets (100-250k) or larger multi-family JVs or syndications anywhere but Fl, Ca, and northeast US.
