I also know in the beginning mistakes will be made but I feel with a mentor through their experiences I can decrease the mistakes being made.

We had a fire/landlord policy with Norfolk and Dedham insurance, however after my last tenant and last property manager allowed my property to get into a state of severe disrepair, including water damage from a dishwasher/septic backup, which was never remediated, my insurer dropped me from coverage as a "bad risk" (we had made a claim for the water damage by the tenant).

Payments have been made on time since.

I haven't made a conclusion if it was worth my time or not.

Upon looking for a home to invest in, we noticed the seller only allows us to see the property if an offer is made.

I'm a Dad to Logan 9, Lucas 6, husband to Wendy.I've spent the last 11 years as an entrepreneur in the digital marketing world, primarily focused on physical product eCommerce (I own 2 brands that operate on Etsy and Shopify), and most recently having kinda accidentally built a few 100k social media following as the Carnivore Dad.I’ve been interested in and attracted to real estate for years but I just made excuses that had me staying in my lane of digital marketing, however I'm here now and eager to learn.I settled on Texas as my primary state because I have family here, I love meat, and I’m interested in firearms.

I can't imagine that the manufacturer of the 1st floor radiators made them in a manner that will be harmful to children?

If the property contains a residential structure, the former must also pay the value of "preservation improvements" made by the investor, but not additions or upgrades.  

Some thoughts- you have made $475k from appreciation.  

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?
