Stay safe everyone!

I bet you could put together a group of investors to help out, maybe even big names like Oprah..?

Are the credit unions and better bet?

You can bet the government will doing everything they can to make you rich if you own real estate.

I am looking for a contractor/company who specializes in remodeling bathrooms and kitchens to help mom stay at home safely and avoid having to go to a nursing home. 

I bet they have a list of approved education/licensing criteria service companies you can choose from. 

I want to be really safe and far under my DTI so that $300 a month would help me sleep better at night

This is because those buyers flush with cash who are inflating the market, largely by their flight out of cities that they have long hated living in but had to until the pandemic and the new work from home era, those buyers tend not to be interested in "fixer uppers" but will gravitate toward the turn-key properties in crime-safe (not necessarily class A but crime-safe) areas. 

Also, we over budget for electricity and gas at $550/mo to be safe.

I do not have cash so to be safe it would be wise to have reserves before leaping into the rental world.
