Take action, there's no right place to start, just start!

@Micah Copeland She had the house listed for 2.5 years with no action.  

I think it's awesome you are taking action towards your real estate ambitions.Looking forward to interacting with you on the forums.Good luck getting you real estate license!

I was embarrassed I had been duped,but it could of been far worse.I know the odd one or two people may feel they want to post criticism over my actions and that's fine.

Check in your area for quiet title action.  

Good to see you taking action on your dream with REI.

That done, understand that selling to another investor who will not be living in the property can be considered a commercial transaction, but check with state laws as a residential property may be in a category of consumer loans regardless of who buys it.  

It all depends on how many workers are there, certainly 1 person cant consume $5,000/week when he is only painting, or it only takes 1 day for 2 persons to install a 4 appliances that values at $1,500 each.That is why the contractors are here because investors don't have the skills to operate renovation, if they did, why hire a contractor?

Thanks againg for your post and POV I'm glad that my expertise was actionable for you. 

Kids growing older and looming retirement spurs action, but it's less effective at that age.
