I’d do it bc im hands on , do repairs myself, and my job is typically flexible except a few times a year.

Whenever clients contact us regarding jobs like this we know what needs to be done. 

People lost jobs as company after company closed its doors, and those job losses rippled throughout nearly every community in the country.

I still remember a woman that told me she doesn't work, she is on SSI,...and has 2 pit bulls and nobody wants to rent to her because of her lack of a job and the kind of pets she has..

I find that it’s a pretty thankless job overall.

I understand the importance of cash flow if you plan on living from it, but for someone with other sources of income (main job), I don’t see why CF would mean more than other sources of return?

Just starting out - unless you have a deep pockets W-2 job, substantial savings, or Wife / Significant other with significant income from my experience, it will be tough. 1.

As long as I have the money, good credit, and job history getting the loan shouldn't be an issue.

I plan to hire a smaller contractor to handle the job and purchase the materials for them, also probably sub out items they are not good at like landscaping and concrete repair.
