If you find someone successful at what you want to do ask them to work for them in some capacity for free so you can be close and learn from them.Rich Dad Poor Dad by Rober Kiyosaki was any eye opener for me to start understanding the flow of money and a financial balance sheet.  

Can you narrow down on some goals, your situation, give us some context for what capacity you have.

@Lyuba Barrington What I do to negate them thinking I have suspicious motives is that I tell the them that even though I am a licensed agent I am not acting in that capacity as I'm not representing them or anyone else.

Despite the "common hearsay" aluminium wiring can be safe, provided the correct receptacles/fixtures are used, or the ends of runs were properly pigtailed to copper.You definitely want breakers over fuses and you would want to confirm the existing circuits have the capacity to handle today's electrical loads and that there is additional room in each unit's panel.

I invested just short of $4,000 into a digitally controlled water softener w/ 250LB capacity brine tank, and a top of the line Iron Filter to match.

Owners, acting in their own individual capacity, are allowed to clean, given this, how can I add additional owners w limited rights?

So my question is should I try and link up with and shadow/work on a sweat equity basis/offer to help out in any capacity with other investors in my area before I purchase my first deal on my own, or is that route more advised for people with little to no construction and or Real Estate background?

A Brimar 5 x 8 dump trailer , 5000 lb capacity , garage kept , looks like new ,paint still on the floor and its 10 years old  he says he used it like 5 times .  

I usually offer an early check in or late checkout when the schedule allows it.One guy checked out 45 min late and my housekeeper sat close to the end of the drive way (she's too nice to pull up to the house), but the guy saw her and must have felt bad and gave her a $20 tip.I dis buy a super capacity washer and dryer since the laundry is the bottle neck in getting the house ready.

Also,  most of these older buildings have nowhere near the service capacity for electric appliances like ranges or dryers.
