I keep getting all of these outsiders perspectives, who have never purchased investment properties, saying now isn't the right time to buy, wait, then buy.

But if I earned lets so 200,000 outside of real-estate, then real-estate doesn't help me mitigate taxes?

In that case you would need to cut and leave some slab around the outside.

We then have a team member read the meter every month with a touch pad reader on the outside of the trailer.

Once I started growing this real estate thing, however, and I realized the opportunities that were out there if I only had the capital, I had to develop new skills in terms of BRRRRR (buy, rehab, rent, reserve, refinance, repeat), generating outside capital, deal analyzing, etc. a lot of which I had not ever done before, or had never applied to real estate.

Here are a few other things outside of what i listed previously (scope of work, payment schedule, deadlines, and what is due on completion) .Work hours & conditions- aka if they are doing work on a occupied property, I don't want them there at 5AM or 10PM.

It is a duplex outside of the Charlotte, NC (Kannapolis).

Also noticed that the wireless keypads outside the door do not have the option for two PINS.

I'm having a hard time with the idea of not pulling the cash out first because the second mortgage isn't giving us any cash to walk away with outside of the 450k mortgage.

I would offer to cover part of the internet expense of one of my good tenants and set up wireless cameras on the outside to capture the common areas and post signs.
