After taking out the old cabinets, we found some mold behind them so the drywall was also removed and new drywall put in.The paint color is actually a beige/cream color, although my pictures don't reflect that.Living room before:Living room after:The living room got a new window, new vinyl plank flooring, new base trim, and paint.The bedrooms also got new flooring.The bathrooms got new ceramic tile floor, new counter tops, new light fixtures, new faucets, and new mirrors. 

Mortgage servicers are sophisticated investors as well, they have had the same problems for decades.Local knowledge, I suspect they will dictate what the management and fees will be, much like Lender's Services, the cream of the crop in any area who are most successful usually don't, nor do the need to work that way.

I'm tending the ice cream maker and then gonna head out to the pool with my kids and dad.

Take the few that are the cream of the crop and the others, wholesale to investors.and again. . .

& they also raised the 1x fee of like 1.75% of the loan. so if you buy a house for $100k, they ding you for $1750 at closing (may have even gone up; I lose count as our govt is broke & trying to cream the consumer).Wait until you have 20%.

And sometimes you may even need to take the kids with you, maybe a little bribe of ice-cream will convince them to sit in the car for a while so you can drive for dollars or go check on a property.

I'm sure you see where I'm going with this - In essence you create a self-licking ice-cream cone by operating within a certain philosophy.

So she constantly bakes wonderful fattening concoctions that she drops off @ the property I am rehabbing.Yesterday it was 12 cream puffs stuffed with a brandy flavored custard prior to that it was cakes, soups etc etc. 

Also, they are going to pull the "cream of the crop" to show you.

IMO, it would be very difficult to get "rich" in RE at 35 as it will take the cream of the crop 10 to 15 years to get there, that means you are past learning and cranking away at 20 or 25, at that age you can hardly be taken seriously much less obtain the knowledge and experience to be on track.
