Then I met a woman who was worth 30 million+ due to property investment, and she said "Dean, if you get a bit of money, then get another mortgage on another house and rent it out, build a portfolio of property"Ok, sounds great.The way I see it, I have 4 distinct paths that I could take (correct me if I am wrong).

The woman who is currently running them doesn't have the time anymore due to the fact she is going back to school and is looking for a replacement.

My cheapest overall purchase price was $8,500-- but we had to re do everything and had to put about $15K into it, ARV is likely $75K, very cute but tiny house-- currently rented for $700/mo.My cheapest/best total investment, and honestly probably our luckiest one--  was a 2bd 1 bath-- $10,000 at an in person auction in 2017,  only had to put about $7K into it-- currently rented for $650, ARV is $100K.   

Do NOT deal with 1 (wo)man operations.

@Lacey Hunter - Cute place! 

I met a woman who was sent cease and desist letters from the VT Attorney General for it.

(Is it a 3 bedroom with a cute backyard and decent appliances or is it a five bedroom home with no yard?)

Just a really dirty woman lived there.

@Bjorn AhlbladI know this woman personally.

Those are my thoughts However people are still telling me not to put down the initial $7,400 Cute photo.
