This issue is more crucial as it is related with kid’s health issue.

Bernie Sanders will be President we can let in the immigrants and they will still be able to provide me with free top notch health care.Bottom line is people (millennials) are much more interested in being entertained than worrying about finances.

Aside from real estate being very local, some general principles I follow that serve in any economy :1- Follow proper underwriting principles based on my specific investment style ( value add etc..)2- Use leverage to my advantage but never over leverage my position.3- Keep proper cash reserves.4- Educate oneself in the economy of the market I’m investing in, including jobs, changing demographics, historical cycles etc...5- Surround myself with the proper team members who will cover the areas I am weak at and are real experts in their niche. 6- Knowing when to cut my losses.7- I use real estate investing as a way to achieve more important milestones In life including family, health etc... this keeps me focused on the big picture and adds more objectivity to the process.8- The bigger the portfolio, the more risk one gets exposed to in a turning market and the harder it gets to change direction.

So I could hire someone to run it during the days but with that and mortgage that pretty well soaks up the profit.I have already considered ways of increasing profit:-Update systems for online reservation-look into marketing to bring more attention to the motel- and currently they are not doing well health wise so they haven't been trying to get any more business than necessary.But I am looking for ideas on how I could manage to make this property profitable for me.

I had health problems last year and ended up filing bankruptcy so my credit is not in a place where I can purchase the home, at this time.  

Justin, welcome to BP and congrats on making the mental leap to commit.

The thing that worries me is the lack of income and health benefits when starting out.For those of you who are established commercial real estate brokers, how did you stay afloat financially while beginning your career?

There are people who get caught up in fear because of the news, there are people who perpetuate stereotypes of all kinds, and whose mentality is wrapped around politics and blaming others or a side.

Now Im mentally ready to get the ball rolling towards my financial freedom. 

They view society as owing them housing food cars phones health care etc just because they can still fog a mirror .they are supposedly destitute yet magically have enough money for lotto tickets , 8$ a pack cigarettes, and alcohol .
