A decline That began long before this recent recession as the auto industry left the city.

The Author of Landlording on Auto Pilot had the misfortune of being invested in Detroit. 

My goal in life is to retire early, or have an auto-pilot company where I work 2-3 hours a day that can make more money when I sleep.

Those options include; equity, mezzanine, hard money, SBA, USDA, HUD, and factoring along with some conventional financing.As of late, I've been focusing my attention on assisted living facilities, multi-family, auto repair, and day care centers.

I have my phone setup to auto send all unknown numbers to voicemail.

(As a side note, when your credit is pulled by a mortgage broker or auto lender, the bureaus treat up to 15 hits within a 30 day period as one.)

This could very well creep up on you if not anticipated.As far as your order of events, I would first and foremost change locks, transfer all utilities into your name (that won't auto transfer with the sale), get a good solid insurance policy with Builders Risk and then get familiar with the process in your town regarding permit requirements.

Woodworking, metalworking, and auto mechanics would be great classes to learn more about working with your hands.

My buyers are able to mark properties they are interested in when they view the auto emails.

Everyone whose net worth exceeds the limits of standard homeowner and auto liability policies should look into an umbrella policy from a reputable provider.
