I just turned 59 years old, so cash flow is what I am hoping for.

Most of the 15-35% should be added to your reserves which is 75% of capex costs(you just fixed up so lower end), 2 tenant turns, 8 months vacanies, and 4 months lead time.

So you're not completely anonymous.

Your best investment is in yourself.Consider going to college or learning a trade.Use the funds to invest in something that does not require much time so you can focus on learning.If you do decide to get into real estate, you may want to consider doing a house-hack.It will give you a place to live(potentially saving you a few hundred dollars from paying rent and also giving you training wheels for being a landlord).

I am opening to hearing about different financing options so I will be reaching out to set up some time to talk.

I have been investing in SFH (single family houses) and using the STR (short term rental or vacation rental) strategy for the past 6ish years or so.

I want to start advising my buyers to use land trust transfers when we acquire properties that have underlying notes since we are seeing an increase in notes being called.

I was honestly dreading doing the calling, but am so glad I did. 

At the beginning of every winter season, I send a message to the tenants with the account information and let them know to call the gas company if the heat goes out.  

We see so many Youtube videos with instructions on how to do self-closings/seller closings, and this saves a significant amount of money.
