When I first started out, I was insuring everything with USAA.

I'm not sure of what exactly, but something led me to start connecting with others here and do my best to actually stay active.

when will you start to "profit"? 

Gotta start somewhere.

Their a/c starting leaking and has missing ductwork, and is blowing air in random places.

I just don't want to start working with a realtor and waste time and end up with no real solid prospects for buying.

Airbnb started out by renting couches, airbeds and rooms.

I think we will see more "adult" families living together...kids move back in or parents move in with kids.The traditional apartment model was based on 12month leases, but jobs are not always 12 months and people want flexible terms, so co-living often offers that.Seems like younger people between 20-30 and some other age groups don't want to get married and start that housing pathway our parents and grandparents took.   

I've been looking at some properties and before I get started, I wanted to know does anyone have any reputable General Contractor/Contractor along with property manager in Columbus, GA because I haven't had much of luck in that department yet?

With that said, it's best to START it like you're going to outsource everything, so it will be easier once you decide to make that transition.
