Like anything else in life, there are rules to them...and, just like anything else in life, you just have to follow them. 

I realized that life is short and I want to be able to spend as much time as I can outside of a 9-5 and traveling alone 50% of the month. 

But as for the two jobs you are looking at I will tell you all that cold calling will kill you (people will cuss at you, scream at you, tell you off, and threaten you for making cold calls) Whatever you decide, Good Luck!

I don't know the condition of the rest of the property or have pictures but those are two easy ones that stick out.

I can't for the life of me figure out why you wouldn't!

To be honest 140k+ of household income should put you in a pretty dominant life position even in a higher cost of living area, financially speaking - with the right plan.

@Aaron Johnson1-4 family homes are FHA eligible.FHA limits are based on each county around the country and the owner's ability to pay.FHA includes mortgage insurance for the life of the loan.you can put down as little as 3.5% for a 1-4 family home.there are some allowances for adding closing costs to the loan.

Some of my properties were insured and after hurricane Irma and a few close calls with tenants threatening to sue, I decided that I needed asset protection and began looking at Anderson advisors and Companies Incorporated for advice and strategies to protect current assets and avoid losing substantial portion of the inherited trust due to a tenant threatening to sue because a cabinet fell on her.  

Got no problem with "thanking the tenant" in small ways to keep the relationship happy... but stuff happens in life...get over it

Bath condition?
