Bummer on your taxes, but you have your foot in the door.

My dream would be to assist a flipper or maybe a wholesaler.If all goes well in getting my foot in the door through real estate should I look into getting my license or an appraiser license or some kind of certificate to further increase knowledge and income?

This trains the tenant to expect an increase annually, but the amounts are small enough ($20 to $35) it doesn't effect vacancy.If you delay rate increases in the hope of tenant stability, you shoot yourself in the foot a few years in when you have a home renting for substantially below market.

Over the last 6 months, I started networking with many brokers, syndicators and investors and trying to figure out the best way to add value so I can get my foot in the door. 

Has the time come to take your “foot off the gas” while COVID settles or are we to continue marching forward?

Not a great ROI at the moment but I’m looking to put my foot in the door and begging my investment.

There is no price per square foot rehab price that is a real thing unless you are rehabbing all in the same development with the same build dates.

I would think it would increase the sale price as well as ease of bank financing down the line if your owner financing buyer wanted to switch to a bank loan and cash you out.Any idea on the cost these days to pour footings and run a cinder black perimeter wall for an already placed home?

It is a very achievable 1st step to getting your foot in the door with real estate investing and being a active landlord.

For evidence look at a 1,500 sq foot 3 bed, 1 bath house built between 1940 & 1970 in San Francisco and look for a similar property in Jacksonville, FL.
