I'm doing a full day seminar in about a month on how to start investing now.

I've full gut renovated several homes and did cosmetic reno in another few, so by now, I do know how to build a home.

For example, the arm of our business today offering the full services of a management company to just under 500 doors, utilizes online management software, owner/tenant portals, online tenant screening, advertising and applications, online PDF fillable leases, electronic signatures, walk through inspection apps, online maintenance coordination, lots of texting, etc.

Just bought a property in Brewerytown which will be a full gut conversion to a triplex.

At the end of the month (assuming you pay your interest in arrears) you'll be required to pay the interest on the full 100k, even if the 30k is sitting in escrow still.

Craigslist is full of spammers/scammers these days.

If it matters, I am 39 and not a full-time investor. 

So we let buyers know a brand new garage is being constructed.Right after that we got a full price offer with a 2 week close because their home was selling and they were living out of a hotel.

I credit that to having a clear and outlined checklist for the tenant to follow during move out to insure they get their full deposit back. 

Full disclosure, they do have a training course that is something like $5000 to join, so the podcast can come off kind of pitchy sometimes, but if you're willing to put up with a bit of that, there is also a TON of really good, actionable information in those podcasts.
