You could passively invest in apartments and mortgages with companies like Fundrise, or publicly traded REITS like Avalon Bay and Equity Residential that are both trading at a significant discount considering they are collecting less than 1% fewer rents this year during Covid than they were last year.  

I am a licensed residential contractor so I think I've got that covered and can run the trades thru the process. 

It can seem daunting... but if you have bought a house before at all you are have skills to draw from :)

If anything that'll help you with your due diligence skills since you're less familiar.

You track record of closing deals, if and how much you re trade, ect, all mean a lot to sellers. 

It would blow me away if not a single one of the opener units out there could support the way your garage was designed, a situation that would have taken skill by an evil architect to make a future homeowner's life more miserable.But if it's true about the garage door not being rent ready based on a core design issue, get a couple of different quotes from contractors for redesign where the door can be automated

The culture there supports a high standard of work ethic and the Latin family support system educating then young people with trade skills (you wont see family units teaching trade skills in Cedar Park or any other hipster location).

I traded in my old 2013 truck for a used 2020 truck. 

The SELLER or current owner of the home who could not use a realtor, has absolutely no knowledge, skill, or understanding of the process of selling a house seems disturbed by me earning to much of a profit.The paperwork is at the lawyers office for pre-foreclosure to begin.

My wife and I traded an hour of listening time.
