Cleveland must be the only place where you don't find decent workers for daily jobs.in most stated you can find them at home depot very early morning.Originally posted by @James Wise:Originally posted by @Kyle Lofland:I have a rental property in Cleveland that i need quick help with for some day laborers..

I'm not interested in only relying on real estate for retirement income (though plan for it to be the bulk of it).We have a one year old child (and plan to have one or two more) and, consequently, desire to have a 'lower-risk' approach to financing our daily lives (e.g., steady income, benefits, etc) until our children go to college (as opposed to trying to finance our lives mostly/entirely with real estate right away).We make roughly $100k combined and can afford a new 5% down payment each year (but not a new 25% DP yearly... unless daycare costs drastically change!).

My SUCCESS was staying on the right path, networking, becoming a pro member, analyzing deals daily, reaching out to agents, talking to lenders..

You deal with shady and honest people on a daily basis.

so I have a house under contract, this is for my primary residence in rock hill sc that I intend to house hack, and in my due diligence period the inspector found evidence of powder post beetles and extremely high moisture under the house and I'm wondering what this could end up costing me if i get it treated and have a vapor barrier put into the house and put up gutters to get this house to qualify for the loan and then it proves the damage is a lot deeper than inspected like into the sub floor i included some pictures to show the damage the inspector found  still have a week and a half till my due diligence is up (2/26/19)the really wet part is the beam at the front of the house around where the front door is 

It depends on how many batteries you have but yes they net out to about $7K for true daily use batteries.

My suggestion is to break the learning process up into manageable pieces, and try to grow daily instead of burning out with too many competing ideas.4) There is No Get Rich Quick Here: Sorry real estate is a great way to get rich and wealthy, but is takes time (primarily focused on learning and executing).

(please discuss this with a tax professional - which I am not),  you will want to take into consideration the timing of your sale, if you decide to sell the Daily City property.

Please keep a journal/diary of your daily activities.   

I'm no expert, but the way I see it there are two broad strokes:By paying a big chunk of your mortgage with the HELOC, you reduce the total amount you owe and therefore are paying more towards principle each month with your mortgage payment.The key is by running all your income and expenses through the HELOC, you reduce the daily interest accrual.
