This was a very unique situation that turned out awesome for everyone involved. 

It may not be right for you now but if you are successful I’ll bet you will have one.

In fact, we actually had to get her and my agents BIC involved to save the deal and get things moving along.

I was once tangentially involved in a case where a national bank did nothing with a foreclosed property for eight years or so.

All they usually care about is dealing with the hassle as quickly as possible to minimize their involvement.

The pay is higher, but you do have to involve in day to day managing it & clean it.On Airbnb, Don’t rent to local people.

If you never owned one, then your best bet is to find a deal and to bring it to someone experienced to partner up with  so that you can learn from them.

I called the city to explain (I also let my realtor know as a courtesy so she could let the buyers' realtor know).In extreme eyesore situations, government gets involved and code enforcement liens on the property can add up over time.

Also IMO any business should be scalable and setup so you can eventually step away and let it run itself without your involvement, so an eponymous name is a poor choice in that regard because the name implies the company will never grow bigger than you.

Along the way I plan on investing in some buy and hold opportunities as they come up to really setup some long term wealth.I'm currently scouring the market for deals which are few an far between (there are a 1,000 of me out there) but always looking for different ways to get involved.
