I can't comment on what they're actually doing but I don't like people who aren't straight forward with what they do or what they're selling.

I was deciding between changing all lighting, ceiling fans, bath hardware, or new kitchen cabinet doors, or the closets.

And some repairs, like a new faucet, door knob, and painting can be expensed.

I went into a house to look at buying it and I heard a river sound as I was walking up to the door.

But there are so many listings now with the "do not walk on property do not knock on doors do not peek over fence do not talk to tenants..." and people are throwing blind cash offers with 50% EMD with inspection waived.

Second property, was right next door, so I actually leveraged that with a credit card 0% cash advance for 18 months...put a little work into it and once I file for taxes this year, will refi to pay off the cards (yes I know many hate this method).

So far I have shown the house to the girl who used to live next door and the best friend of former owner (both of which did not qualify for the rental).

With that low of an amount I'm unsure how I would be able to purchase multiple properties, get renters in the door, and still make a profit?

Keep your cabinet doors open in the kitchen under the kitchen sink as well as the vanity doors in your bathrooms; if it is very cold allow sinks to drip.

The bank parcel adjacent to this lot is a (mostly) drive through location, but per the sign on the front door, they do have bankers onsite for walk in appointments also.
