I built myself up to bring a superhost.. and when I started I made sure to read every week reviewed Kindle etc on being successful.. took the strategies and went with it.. it's a pain in my *** when it comes to my guests calling or texting at weird times but I think about the end goal..

Paint, plumbers, flooring, electrican all fairly easy to get and pretty wide selection....Handyman type stuff though, huge pain if the jobs not big enough. 

I am in a similar situation and put a just in case HELOC on my house for $375 and pain-free qual.

@Daniel LaCroix unfortunately after using these platforms myself I realised getting these to work for real estate is a bit of a pain.

I feel your pain @Linda Weygant!

Age doesn't come into the mix, unless someone plans to do rehab work themselves and it's all aches and pain :)

Seller financing just spreads the pain across the years while the note is being paid off. 1031 would avoid all of that, but he would need to identify a new property within 45 days and close the transaction within 180.

states were the homes have a lot of basements.. these can be good and or if they weep or leak can be a pain.. 3.

In my experience it is a pain to scale, but once you get to a nice amount of doors and you have the right people in place it can work very nicely with other businesses like brokerage, investing, cleaning, maintenance, contracting, etc.

We did that once and it was a pain for us at the time too.
