So, you can get a mini-education as well. 2.

My main focus these next 6 months is to educate myself and continue to add to my savings for down payment and reserves.

Educate yourself on how to better handle each one of those issues, starting with the most immediate problems first.

But without the proper education it's pretty much a waste of time. 

Find a mentor, continue education, analyze potential deals, and build a team of professionals.Good luck!

Continuously educate yourself on real estate investing, analyze potential deals, and connect with other investors.Good luck!

I am a property owner myself and now the proud founder of RentWiseLA, a company dedicated to helping property owners navigate the complexities of the Section 8 program, especially when it comes to lease-ups and rent increases.Having spent years in the trenches, helping owners fill their vacant units with Section 8 families, I’ve always taken pride in educating property owners about the ins and outs of Section 8.

Without success in real estate and BP forums/education, I'd still have a job. 

@Joe P. your questions are based in fear and it's probably something that can be solved through education.

. - Someone that is going to educate you throughout the process, not just be your friend- I'd recommend someone that also has solid volume in the last 1 - 2 years.
