YouTube is a great resource for videos on sheetrock patching, replacing tank components for toilets, wax rings, replacing broken faucets, fixing drains, etc.Those are just a few things that come to mind for me that are fairly simple.

You'll see that my main investment goal is to acquire long-term holds, and to get the capital needed for the down payments by doing some flips.Other Context: I'll probably move to NC from HI in about 18 months and would execute the plan there.

A property in Maine comprised of 4 small parcels was merged by ordinance into a single conforming lot.

Main level - enclosed porch, living room, dining room, bathroom, and kitchen2nd level - 3 bedrooms, bathroom,Attic - sitting area, un-permitted kitchen, 2 bedrooms, office, and un-permitted bathroom. and lots of storage (I will take out the kitchen and bathroom and cap everything so it is compliant)basement - new gas boiler, and water heater, unfinished but +9' ceiling height.

Part of me thinks the main reason I did this was to see if I could pull off the double dip on these houses. :-)Either way, just curious to see what people think since this is so completely out of the norm from my renting philosophy......

Mainly wholesaling right now and looking for my first few rentals to buy and hold.You mentioned that you ventured into subject 2 deals.

I understand that the cash flow is not spectacular, but after looking for 4+ months, this doesn't look so bad for Metro San Diego area (I also have limited cash reserves, so I can't put down a 50%+ down payment to make some of the better properties cash flow).My main question is whether it's worth buying a really nice property in a bad neighborhood as a long-term investment.

Mainly local banks and credit unions for the small balance stuff.Hope it helps.

I guess my main goal would be to invest in real estate for cash flow, not so much capital gains.
