I was at a note convention in June, and my friends in the industry (who also lost money with Scott) said they knew somebody who just invested with him the prior month.Of course, I can't be sure, but I think the Scott Carson machine is still successfully collecting money. 

We also have 2 ozone machines.   

Empty countertops are dull, so adding some cute (clean) towels, fruit bowls, even cookie jars go a long way to add some personality.

I always work on the low hanging fruit.

If it checks out, get it into contract and pay for a home inspection (and any other needed inspections) for good measure.There are more investor buyers than ever before, so the lowest hanging fruit needs work/renovation.

Sometimes issues just do happen, I've had to get some work done on places I've bought as well due to unfortunate circumstances - diverter valve replacement, laundry machine replacement, toilet piping recall that sent parts but had to hire a plumber, etc. and you can either keep on going, hire someone else to manage the property, or sell the place.You say you're willing to put in the work and aren't afraid to put in the effort and that mindset will definitely help you.

Every market has it's own nuances and building a solid team in your market is vital, but when it's done, it can really become a passive income machine over time.I'd be happy to schedule a call with you to help you start exploring your options and help you start building a team.

If a buyer didn't like them they would be easy to cap and machines could be run in the basement (the norm).

From my agricultural roots, I think of planting seeds and eating the resulting vegetables and fruits (or killing and eating the animals that eat the vegetables and fruits).

No matter what happens rest assured after a crushing fall you will stand back up after you see how far you have come nd the work you have accomplished even if it did not bear any fruit... yet.Forget lists.Build your business!
