I guess you could say I am trading a JOB at the plant for a JOB in RE, but the new JOB will definitely help me hit my personal and financial goals easier.

Tough area but coming back after they closed the auto plant there.

Talk with lenders, real estate agents, and begin planting those seeds for a long lasting relationship.

There was a Coke Bottling plant nearby that they converted to mini-storage, they basically build a whole new inside, sort of a building within a building. 

So I bought 24 and planted them in the rental homes back yard.

Now if you replaced a tree or planted a new tree, that would be a landscaping improvement that would normally be depreciated.It goes without saying, that the portion of a repair expense attributed to your residence unit is a non-deductible personal expense.

books, plants, and weird things to pick up and look at (we have a skull collection in one unit, and a crystal collection in another).I have edited and hung up those national parks posters that I'm sure you've seen before.

If there are any liens on a property, it needs to be recorded with the county.Or like the west coast were the title searches are done in the phillipines  no one goes to the court house.. all title companies have remote title plants. 

I am new to the game too but I am have been finding some things that are at least planting some seeds and building relationships with people.Ive been going on Zillow in the area that I am focused on and looking at rentals available.

Redid the floors for about ~$1000, painted inside and out, and lastly planted a few bushes outside.I'd say it's AT LEAST 30,000 plus now.
