This is the hospitality sideThey are two totally different skillsets and so I think they should be taught independently of one another.

My youngest is 16 and very independent so no issues there.  

By the time I closed, building codes changed and it required an independent line.

It’s great to hear that you and your wife are taking the leap into real estate investing independently.

But Im heavily lacking true mentorship to take me to my intended goal of reaching the financial independence community so I can continue to gain more of my freedom and time with loved ones!

This greatly helps me to be location independent and spend good amount of time in India.

Example: "I want to build financial independence through real estate investing.

Hi real estate friends,My wife and I recently bought our first home in Co springs area close to garden of the gods and other attractions in the area. to no surprise our interest rate is a whooping 7.1%, the main house has 4 - BD 2 B. our mortgage is $4009. the property we bought has an attached dwelling unit on the side of it, completely independent from the main unit we live in, we are currently renting it out for 2 years for a tenant for $1545, It has one bedroom one bath.My question is what are some ways to scale especially since in the current market (is kind of almost impossible)?

You can learn to do this independently or get a rockstar REALTOR to lead the way.

Aggressively pay back the HELOC just like you did when you use it for the repairs, and you'll have a second property with it's own, independent long-term financing.
