Advertising, sales commission, job supervision (which isn't usually a job cost), office expenses (even if they work out of their home), insurance, accounting and legal fees, licenses, taxes, employee expenses, and their own salary are just a few of their overhead expenses.

Part of my role was to handle "Special Assets", which is trying to work out delinquent commercial loans.

I am still very new to all of this, and especially intrigued to see how investing while living overseas will work out.

Another avenue to explore if they do not work out is using a commercial policy (Business Owners or Package policy). 

Most people my age don't have the amount of leisure time I do, so I just work out a lot.Now I'm a single mom, and my daughter is my #1 priority, but I only have her half the time.

I like the high quality assets your acquiring, I like you acquiring more of them - I don't think Section 8 will work out.

This is what the numbers work out to be on a large percentage of houses in the market right now.  

I'm finishing up a light rehab now; I'm selling a property that didn't work out the way that I thought it would; and I'm trying to qualify an off market lead I've been working for over a year.But with that said - it actually IS a challenging time to invest, with rates and prices high; low inventory; tremendous competition for deals both on and off market; contractors booked up; and more.everything you listed as their objections are VALID. 

Curious what you found out, even if it didn’t work out. 

@Bruce Woodruff I anticipate it will work out to remain about the same.
