Sounds like a fishing expedition.

I have friends that own subway sandwhich shops they are doing very well its a job but they are building true wealth.I have another friend that has the number one take and bake pizza place in PDX they do very very good.. and talk about free time .. he is always inviting me to go fishing mid week.So I really depends on what you want to do.. but if its just buy a few rentals well that's very vanilla and should not be any big blow back from others.. now if you telling them you want to give up your income and jump into RE as a newbie then you should defiantly head the advice of others.. because this business in Certain markets is not realistic to go from nothing to self sustaining in any short amount of time unless your already starting with significant capital behind you.Now there are areas of the US were properties are so Cheap you can start with credit cards.. but those are very management intense situations and defiantly not for all

Does the Walmart cashier with neon green hair tattoos and fish hooks in her lips feel bad if your card doesn’t work at the checkout ?

There will almost certainly be bigger fish to fry and more important issues to negotiate after inspections. 

Get some bids, they can fish the romax through the existing holes, change the boxes and outlets easily, you'll have a problem with brick or stone.

My main hobby is racing motorcycles and when I'm not racing I like to go biking, snowboarding, fishing, working on my car/motorcycle, airbrushing, drawing and I would like to do more woodworking/metal fab builds. 

Teach a man to fish and feed him for a life time of real rental market research! 

The big fish has several rental properties and has maxed out at ten loans.

Willing to partner with you in ANY market as long as they like the deal (you need the credibility and financial backing) - there are groups out there that will only partner with you in a specific market (i.e. within a certain # of miles) and this creates a ton of competition where all the members are fishing in the same pond.2.

The lake parks are great places for casual fishing, bird watching, kayaking, and ice skating, depending on the winter weather.
