In-general, yes, if you do everything on your own, then it will basically come down to watching 100 hours of podcasts, making 1000 emails, and around 300 phone calls before you over mental hurdles and find trustworthy people to invest with. 

(millions of ppl are raised by family that are mentally and financially poor, I was one)Neither of our positions are commission, higher paying positions are salary. 

Being able to see/drive to you property is basically just a mental hurdle you should try to overcome.

HSA money is instantly available (all of it) for qualified medical expenses (medical office visits for doctor, dentist, optical, mental health; prescriptions for most meds, procedures, even Medicare premiums when he gets there).  

This type of mentality always produce a bad experience for both the owner and the agent. 

The goal is to leverage experienced, local, licensed and insured contract construction crews rather than living in a DIY mentality forever.

After a lot of mental gymnastics I decided that it’s would be best to end their tenancy.

My sister-in-law was shocked at it, as our mom-in-law included her daughter on the deed as a good will gesture not realizing the estate consequences.

In the deal the title was in mother/daughter names, but mother took out mortgage in here name.

You won't see that money again, and I would mentally check this off the list and move on.
