If anyone has ideas on low level investments I could use to build capital until I can afford real estate,would love that.

Have to build some level of trust and set responsibility in a good partnership that goes both ways.

If you want to scale to some very large level, that's difficult to do on your own with single family housing, and is usually the reason people switch.

I did most of the rehab myself on the top level and learned the process for new construction with a contractor for the basement.

Here is the current picture.I found a property that is for sale, the owner is asking $55,000 with lease option as a possibility, it's a single family 2 kitchens, 2 baths, 3 bedroom, but the property is zoned 2-Family Residential and can be split into a multi-family split-level apartments.

Firstly, I would like to say good job on keeping a level head and looking at the numbers more than most people do.

There is a very high level of trust here as we have done other deals with each other and on a joint basis also.

@Justin Lewis,I believe knowing the facts and as many of them as you can on a Macro level of a market.

To get to the next level, I'd really have to amp up the time I'm spending on it.

It truly depends on the property and your comfort level.
