It's rough out there, and I have yet to see 1 Twitter or anything of a contractor or carpenter getting a $100 thank you tip, maybe if they stopped being trades professionals and carry food for a living, but alas they only use countless years of skills building and thousands invested in tools to construct peoples homes. 

It's a crap market so lenders don't want to help and you struggle to gain velocity, and even though you've got your safety set aside, you feel really scared because you keep reading about all the people who've lost everything in real estate because of whatever terrifying thing caused them to go broke.One night, you're sitting out contemplating the state of your life and you realize that had you chosen to act two years ago in August of 2020, you would have a half dozen doors, cash flow of several thousand a month, and a net worth nearing a million dollars.

I owe about $80k on my double, and it’s worth roughly $150k, maybe more. I’m considering selling the double for a rehab duplex or tri. After agent fees, I think I would have about $50k to put down on a fixer-upper plu...

I've been wanting to "drive for dollars" for months but have been putting it off out of safety concerns.

I feel that leaving this first property alone and start brrrring from property 2 would give me a big safety net.

We're having trouble finding a mix of affordability, rental interest, and safety. 

Do you have a safety protocol in mind for going out to houses as you do not want to do appointments by yourself?
