However, I will add that you both should save the $10K for future deposit on 1st investment and start with the links below to gain some traction in learning the basics of REI.

Its puzzling right @Joshua Poitras, if I can get any traction I will let you know.Thank you

That is rule one for the lazy land lord buy small houses it means less work overall,So on to painting If you talk to any experienced old school painter they will tell you that you need to cut in. which is making a border around the ceilings and base boards.this is a very very important step for the lazy land lord because doing this step properly will allow you to use the roller much easier and quickly so you can get home to your couch and the game. but more important it will prevent you from getting paint on the ceilings which will need to be brushed in later brushing in paint on the ceiling is time consuming and tedious so avoiding paint on the ceiling is the lazy landlords first priorityMany old school painters will tell you to get a good cut in brush. but if you are not familiar with painting the cut in brush can take quite a bit of time, to get efficiently good results my solution buy a paint kit that comes with a cut in tool it should look like a rectangular plastic thing a ma jig that has little wheels on one sidethis device allows you to quickly do the border in record time.The secret I found to using this tool is to gently place it on top of your paint so it floats on the surface for about 2 seconds you dont want the wheels getting paint on themjust the applicator I didnt use the pole attachment I think the hand allows more control and gets you up close to the work.

If you have it tied to an internet router, you can watch the video remotely via a computer or mobile device.You could consider cutting rent $50 for a good, reliable tenant and place the recording device inside their apartment where it is safe and secure.

I'm not an expert by any means, but I wouldn't see any properly installed, UL listed, electrical device as a fire hazard.That said, if the attic space was designed to have a fan, you're probably not getting all the airflow needed.

Use your own house as a learning device.

Good thread here as I am looking at wholesaling after a long career in marketing.Tracy mentioned systematized courses/approaches to getting faster traction.

Figured I share and see what others on this great site have to say or have experienced with rent control; especial since this issue is getting more and more traction in lots of cities and could have impacts on both apartment investors down to small multi family, triplex, and duplex owners.
