I would intern at what ever real estate companies your interested in.My daughter was interested in finance.. and she interned during collage with a high level appraisal company that did apprasing for emanate domain cases.. and she worked on the one in Napa CA were the state and city bought out a big swatch of the napa river for flood control project and many business had to be relocated from hotel to shopping center to car dealer all of them needed to be valued.. it was high level work she enjoyed it.she then went on to graduate top of her class at Davis CA.. in managerial economics degree and promptly got snapped up my Intel after offers from Apple and Micro soft.now 14 years later she is a SEnior controller and a Dave Ramsey disciple which means at her age home just about paid for 2 kids in grade school and NO debt and a ton of savings and max's out her 401k.. she has little interest in real estate she owns one rental but only rents it to family. that was her path.  

Like Stainless steel appliances, 8m LVT flooring and adding washer and dryer connections to the 2 bedrooms.

I stop by on the 6th and collect it all, along with the coin out of the washer and dryer.Hope this helps.

Has a natural gas fireplace, own washer/dryer, all appliances in kitchen except dishwasher.3.

what if you bought a pressure washer and did the work yourself? 

Ideal situation would be a 3/2 (or a 2/2 with a separate office since I work from home), small yard, decent neighborhood, washer and dryer in-house/unit in a neighborhood where you're hard-pressed to find bars on the windows and front door. 

I have a property in South Dakota that I'm looking to purchase.This deal would be purchasing an existing sfr on a double lot, tearing it down and building an 8-plex with 8 garages.Purchase price =35kContact estimated =$575 for tearing down and construction.Leaving some leeway for error I was estimating $635k all in for construction of the property.For the rental portion I am seeing 5-1br/1ba units renting at $7003-2br/1ba units renting at $10009 garages renting at $50 eachCoin op washer and dryer $90 Total monthly income $7,040Expenses Taxes =$12,500Insurance=$2,000 (my estimation have not gotten a quote)Property management= 10%Vacancy =10%I'm not sure if I missed anything but it looked like a good deal in my head.

I have an addendum to my leases that says specifically about the washer an dryer, that they are provided for convenience but not included in the lease.

The money mostly went into new flooring, installing an in-unit washer and dryer, tuckpointing the brick I exposed, tearing down a wall between the living room and kitchen, and updating the kitchen. 

We buffed the floors (rented the buffer at Home Depot and got a buffing 101 lesson on You Tube), painted the walls, got new socket plates, new appliances (fridge, dryer, washer).
