But nowadays, it often seems that's all there is in the way of new blood in the field.

Just curious if anyone has any experience getting into real estate investing via becoming a home inspector and kind of grasping the field.

This entails building personal/working relationships with people successful in the field.

Many wont even live till 60.People get blinded by the new shiny toy that they forget, REAL ESTATE IS THE RETIREMENT VEHICLE so why put a retirement vehicle into another retirement vehicle which you can't even enjoy until you're dead or crippled with medical issues.

Can anyone recommend a third party phone/answering service that can field and respond to maintenance requests from tenants?

I loved it so much that I left my job in Medical sales to join a broker that specializes in this loan.

It levels the playing field for sellers, like myself. 

I've been involved in the construction field for over 30 years and started my own construction company in 2008 when I also started flipping houses. 8 years ago I sold the construction company and began buying and holding long term rentals.

But I’m cooking to make them into medical student (residents) or travel nurse homes. 

However, they provided a receipt with these concerning observations.Now, the township wants additional information about the drain field's working condition.
