My second house I purchased was again the worst in the neighborhood, and it included an inaccessible extra lot that served as it’s backyard.

My end-goal would be to learn the ins and outs of the industry in order to earn passive income and steadily do more and more profitable and complex deals.

I wouldn't mind being a extra hand for some rehabs over some weekends as well to kindof help out and learn the ropeds of how it can be done.

Definitely wait to hear from others, but wanted to chime in that we did it without a lot of knowledge and now we're super excited to learn about real estate investing and make this a solid way to earn income! 

I would prefer that I never collected a late fee because that extra $50 or so is not worth the time involved in collecting the late rent.

This requires me to pay off mortgage worth 105K+124K = 229K.If I sell ETFs worth 229K and pay off these 2 properties, I expect to add extra cash flow of $1143 per month (on top of net cash mentioned for each property above).My question is, does it make sense to go this route?

Rather than paying it off quickly, you can utilize your extra monthly income to get more homes under contract.

Only thing I can think of is possibly use some of that extra money to cover closing costs or perhaps use it to improve the property? 

.- No annual report- No Annual Fee- No state income tax (c corp filing for tax not s corp pass thru)My question is basically, will I need to file biennial in Indiana if i register as foreign entity in Indiana (I assume this would be necessary to have a rental property with income in that state)I am less worried about the fee's for registering, but more curious about ongoing maintenance.From my perspective, if i have to spend a bit more money to register as a foreign entity in Indiana, but I don't have to file each year, the extra cost would be worth it to keep this thing low maintenance.Any thoughts or suggestions welcome.Thanks!

Is it worth the extra investment to take the face to face courses or with just starting out, should I go the cheaper route?
