I would be happy to take a look and get you paid on anything that pans out. 

Worst case, I work until I'm 60+ but what I can't afford to do is put all my money into RE and have nothing if that doesn't pan out and work until I die.so if you have the money, yes, I'd invest in a 401k.

We had the carpet professionally cleaned and I figure I can get another year or two out of it.The bathroom hasn't worked since we bought the house because the grout cracked and the galvanized pan under the shower rusted out.

But go ahead and put some tin foil on your head, it can't hurt.

Because it’s a 3/4 tin truck I’m able to write it off for the business.

It cost me about $1000 to get all the supplies needed at the beginning (fresh water and sewer hoses, dishes, pots, pans, bedding, etc.)

First year CoC would have been over 15%+ if the tenant had panned out.

They might look good on paper but they don't pan out in reality.

That said, exactly nothing wrong with a $25 Mr Coffee, a pack of liners, and a tin of Folgers.

Hard Money is only a last ditch effort as it is expensive to obtain and can put you in a tough spot if the numbers dont pan out.
