Note, if you want to forgo the PVC option, there are leaf blower cleaning kits pre-manufactured out of lighter weights materials like this one from WORX.And while It may sound like a lot of work, it's a cheap fix ($30-40) to an otherwise expensive ($800-$1,200) gutter guard installation you can't afford right now.Good luck!

Higher end boots sub in lighter materials for the steel toe. 

And the lighter the floor, the less scratches will show up.

So it was just addition. 1+1=2But once I started connecting with others in the RE investing world, attending conferences, networking, getting coaching, etc, etc...then it became more like 1 x 2 x 6 x 10 x ...Friends not only make the work lighter, they also make the outcome bigger and better!

We find parcels with some lengthy road frontage in the rural areas, preferably with lighter zoning. 1.5 to 3 acre farmette lots good for septic tanks, but county or city water at the road.

Look for value-add deals where the scope of work is limited to cosmetic improvements, like paint, flooring, and maybe some cabinetry, rather than structural issues, like mold, roofing, and other weather proofing.The lighter scope is more manageable for a beginner and usually doesn't result in major unexpected challenges.

@Vinson Lee  Buy a grill lighter.

You are definitely more flexible and lighter on your feet if you aren't being weighed down by a ton of debt.

I'm thinking at this stage in my life I should be making connections for more TurnKey style of properties and/or lighter rehab work type of properties.

If you have just one property then there may be lighter weight solutions.
