But at some point down the road, we'd like to make real estate our main focus. 

I had spent the last year or so down there for my company doing the renovations to the old court house on East Main St. 

It is more economical to do it all at once.Winterizing often leaves you with some cracked fittings or faucets in the basement, which are easy to replace, but the main goal is to preserve the water heater, toilets and the in wall plumbing from frost damage.

A flatbed truck from the roofing supply company, with two guys and an articulated conveyor belt, appeared in my driveway. 

I prefer it for two main reasons:1.

One that understands both sides, costs, how to resolve technical and design issues, contacts for discounted supplies, etc.

I understand basic hypothetical strategies for cash flow, but can’t say I grasp it completely, or know how to analyze a deal...so that is my main thing right now.

The only main concern at this point is connecting with a lender that is backed by the deal and not FICO.

Make sure your deep clean crew is bringing their own supplies as part of the job, otherwise you will end up paying for bottles of stuff with only 5% of it being used on your job. 

Investments you want FREEDOM to where the investment works for you around the clock while you get to mainly choose what life you want.
