It's the overarching reach to pull an entire thread that doesn't come from moderators that is my issue and that goes to the site's focus on new investors way more than experienced.Everything is built to attract revenue and that's smart business.

I'm fine with doing some minor fixes and improvements to a property: Adding overhead lighting/fans, better flooring, maybe redoing a main bathroom.

At this stage, the main thing we need is for me to get back into the workforce and get some money coming in, in order to achieve that dream.With that in mind, my immediate goal is to gain employment in the field of property management, as opposed to wasting my time working in another field that is not associated with real estate.

There's more low-hanging fruit here than I'll ever need, but hitting the ground running to pick it before land prices start reflecting the new higher values requires more capital than I have and I don't do debt.There are two main companies in the US who do the work of creating and selling eco-mitigation credits on a joint venture basis, separated by the Mississippi river.

I think for the 2 other attractions nearby, a lot of people I'm assuming aren't needing lodging for the museum and or park.

There are a couple REIAs in the Tri-State area, but none of them are backed by the power of BP and the incredible people that it tends to attract.

Hopefully this helps clear up the main point of your post!

The main reasin is for a better clearance of liability. with you editing a signed contract, that has a high Probability of letting a tenant be able to void the contract and it actually happening.

Tenant occupied properties can be attractive to investors if cash flowing...no one wants to buy someone else's problem.
