Stairs are the only way to get in, no grab rails in the bathroom, ramps that are too steep, etc.From what I've read, all commercial businesses/buildings (including ones before the ADA was passed) have to comply with the rules, unless it would be outrageously tough to fix (like installing an elevator in an already built building).Are all these local business just not complying and taking the risk, or am I missing something? 

have strong desire to venture in real estate and have read books about real estate and the book I'm currently reading directed me to get more insights from here!

As you read these books, watch the BiggerPockets podcasts.

Use next 4-6 months to learn by listening, reading and watching how the real estate investment game works.

Like you said RE is a people business and if you are uncomfortable with people you probably aren't going far. bottom line people our age actually worked at 8 9 10 years old did not sit home playing computer games LOL.. although kids doing that today and have a knack for it and go into tech later do quite well of course :)   I mean for me it was 57 to 60 years ago I am just thankful today I am alive and well and can read and type and still work :)  AND remember those days fondly.

I've also been reading that the prices of properties are slowing going down.

I have been reading books and listening to podcasts for almost a year now and I know I need to take action. 

I personally don't know of their group but figured id link that article since i remember reading it and the name clicked. 

Congrats again on a successful 1031 and looking forward to reading more about your journey in the future. 

After watching some of the podcasts and reading posts I am set on starting my real estate journey utilizing the house hacking strategy.
