This was recommended by my attorney and after more research it seemed like good route to take.

Micah - I think the loan size mentioned by EJ is real...

There are better more experienced operators out there... don't be swayed by the Brandon Turner marketing machine like I was.

I have a duplex with one meter and I use a Sense (https://sense.com/) device to monitor the total KWH that the upstairs unit is using I then take the electric bill and split the bill up based on the amount of power drawn by the upstairs unit vs the total usage.

By doing so, you'll avoid the traps, dodge the pitfalls, and set yourself up for a lifetime of real estate wins.

By targeting key areas that would increase buyer interest without a full renovation, we significantly boosted the property’s value.

The turn key providers have moved on by the time these issues manifest themselves.

You are making a grave mistake by looking too far ahead right now, without capital, because that usually means you aren't focused on upgrading and securing your first asset.

😅)I feel overwhelmed by all that there is to know when it comes to real estate investing and want to ensure I am as knowledgeable as possible before I purchase my first property.

Time certainly flies by.
