Had to rip up some carpet and tear out pad because it was too wet.

Thanks for your reply.It's certainly not my preferred my method either but I would only use credit cards for short term debt that I know I can pay off and use my startup capital for anything else.I haven't done a rehab yet but I'm ready get my feet wet.

For me, my first one would just be to get my feet wet, learn the ins/outs and hopefully make some money (or worst case, break even). 

It really depends on what positions are turning over, as the work is rather thankless and can be high stress for those just getting their feet wet.

The rent from an ADU definitely won’t cover the whole mortgage but could help make a dent in it and help me get my feet wet as a landlord and going through the building process.What questions should I be asking to determine if this is a smart move or if I should be looking at just buying a second property of some kind?

I figured I’d get my feet wet and start there.

Hello everyone,Im just starting to get my feet wet in real estate investing so I'm going to go ahead and apologize for all of the dumb questions I'll be asking haha.Now that that's out of the way, my name is Matt.

In the two states where I was licensed (Mass and Maine), the only ways to close was by a "wet" in-person signature (non-electronic) or by a power of attorney.I was also a Notary Public in Massachusetts. 

Large quantities of water with no evidence of anything getting wet sounds like a faulty meter to me.

If its wet get stuck .
