@Douglas Snook  how does title work in your state.. do you use title companies or is it attorney driven and you have to hire an abstractor to run title.. or can you simply call your title company like we do and in 2 minutes you have a TRIO showing last recorded deed and mortgage e mailed to you.We are seriously spoiled here on Left coast when it comes to instant and free information on properties. 

I am a 41 year old with over 20 plus years of experience in the construction trades where I have worked with my hundreds of investors on their projects in the beginning of their investment careers just to see them grow beyond belief. 

Thanks Bob E., I'll check them out!

So, if someone here finds that of value, perhaps we could trade some knowledge for some media work.I'm exploring getting my real estate license.

Good luck and feel free to reach out and I'll e happy to share my thoughts and perspectives.

He is a contractor who does sub work for high end custom homes here (his primary trade is finish carpentry) though he can do the gamut of tile, drywall, siding etc)  I'm also capable of a lot of this work though I work better assisting someone else, some I can take the lead.  

My family owns a 15 story, 54 unit apartment building in Chicago, and our current cleaning "crew" consists of a woman who lives in the building with significantly discounted rent as a trade for cleaning public areas + taking the trash out to the alley from each floor every other day.

Would love to use Airbnb for this REI.Does anyone have any e patience with Airbnb or VRs?

I know the ins and outs of construction, I have a great relationship will a wide variety of trades people and I am pretty handy myself.

Simultaneously I am still attempting to Beat the Multiple Rental Property Poison Pill and also Hold and Collect or 1031 Trade.
