He promises the world and did give me some money to sleep on an air mattress in the house I am repairing until I sell it.

I'd like to thank everyone who regularly contributes to these forums.

I would be much more focused on getting a really solid 4 unit with little or no deferred maintenance in an area where you can get great tenants and maybe increase the rents regularly than I would on whether it generates a little positive cash flow with only 3 units rented.How much have you spent in rent while searching for the perfect deal?

,Since W2 employees get taxed BEFORE they get their money, you're kind of up a tree on this one.You'd do better to find a way to pay yourself from your deals thru an S-Corp so you can control how much of it is actually salary (earned income) versus dividend (regular income).

I will be attending the Investor Underground meetup on a regular basis so if you're also a regular, please let me know so we can meet in person.Feel free to message me.

I even offered to call 311 for her; she just needs to tell me when but she's scared.Yesterday she asked if we can put a high fence up for her; we're researching, but looks like it won't be allowed.I'm starting to lose sleep over this and wanted to know if any has experienced this and how best to handle.Thanks

It happens all the time, so there's a steady stream of opportunities independent of general market conditions You can take a very methodical approach to Value Investing, where you regularly invest a particular amount (or just spread a large sum over many months) in a small number of pre-screened stocks, with the goal of holding for 1-2 years and selling at a profit, using the proceeds to repeat the process.

I do have my regular full-time career but my schedule allows for me to have some early afternoons off.
