@Michael NevarezNot sure where you are located but in Florida, pulling a permit for construction work performed by others is punishable as a misdemeanor.

My start in REI came with getting a subscription to Audible and replacing Music, TV and Sports with listening / reading books (most of them twice) - starting with Rich Dad Poor Dad.

The bigger cabins that rely on bigger groups and numbers of people organizing and renting them such as church groups, multiple families in same cabin at one time, reunions, sporting and youth groups, along with work groups will take a hit at this time for the foreseeable future. 

They need to know my plans to sell, rent and if I plan to repair or replace the siding, and perform any additional renovations, etc. before they send me estimates.  

There are many owners who perform all responsibilities of owning a property, from paying the taxes to cleaning the toilets, etc. 

Properties that are not performing well might fall into foreclosure but I really don't think we will see the full blown real estate crash that we experienced in 2008.

At this point, I realized that I was in position to potentially make a quick $20,000 by performing a similar strategy that the wholesaler was trying to do.

Its the career analogy to sports' cross training. 

Here's why:Over the last three recessions (2008, 2001, 1990-1991), multifamily has performed well compared to other asset classes and single-family housing.

Assure the tenant that you will attempt to limit showings to certain times during the day and only to truly qualified buyers - so you don't have tire kickers walking through for sport.
