Hello BP! First time caller, long time listener.I need some guidance on how to make the next step in real estate investing.Where I sit - I have a single family home (Michigan), a duplex (Milwaukee), and a 6 unit prop...

I have wifi thermostats so I can change temperature when no one is there to conserve electricity.

I still get up and go to sleep around the same time but as you know, there are family activities, visits with friends, ball games, church, and other things that crowd up the weekends pretty quickly.  

Also, you should start building relationships with local banks, staying away from large national banks, and try to inquire exactly what you need to get the ball rolling and ask them any specific questions you may have in regards to financing for real estate investing.  

I'm past the studying part and don't want to get pitched anything from gurus, i'm ready to get the ball rolling. 

If only we had that crystal ball. :) 

It probably doesn't terribly need a paint job, but I'm considering having it painted so it looks nice for the new tenants.A couple of questions for this 1,860 sq ft house in Waco, Tx built in the last 1970s:- For this 3 bdrm / 2 bath house, what would a ball park cost be to have the whole things painted?

The ball is rolling now.

I'm looking to maybe partner up with him 50/50I'm listening to all the podcast and reading the blog post and reading books as much as possible but I want to get the ball rolling.

Who knew that it was a bad idea to try to flush golf balls, or wet-naps, or feminine products (right Sylvia?
