Maybe I'm just an efficiency nut.

Do you have the capital to cover your nut for the duration of a full renovation if everyone leaves when you give them notice?

Real estate is a bit tricky because it requires capital - and further, much of the labor / needed help is quite frankly low hanging fruit that will not use your horsepower you practiced while in school.All that said, I think wholesaling is a way to credibly offer something while getting practice evaluating a lot of deals. 

In a nut shell, it’s a property that has notoriety attached to it.

Use wire nuts inside the junction box to join the new and old cables.You should also buy a new temperature and pressure relief valve (safety valve) for each new heater, if it doesn't come with one in the box. 

But that is some low hanging fruit that I’ll need to address to get highest and best usage out of them.

Cozy accepts partial payment which sort of drives me nuts and they can also take the money back out of your account if the tenant claims fraud but I would assume any online rental collection site can do that.

However, I would start with low hanging fruit (Acquire cheap, fix and Hold), until I build a portfolio with equity.  

During the discussion, they cover the nuts and bolts of the move out/turnover process - everything that happens from the time the tenant gives a 30-day notice till a new tenant moves (including moving the original tenant out, making repairs, marketing the property, and finding a new tenant). 

It all should match your profile.Have a fruitful day,Benny
