The land just sits there, it is People who rent and buy the land.No college class is going to teach you how to deal with a late paying tenant, or how to deal with the City Inspector, or how to judge a prospective tenant beyond just the numbers, or how to deal with the DEA when they want to break into one of your units, etc...Having six children, I can give very specific examples, but let's just say that I have learned that college is NOT for everyone.

I am a landscaper by trade and have been around construction a good part of my life.

During the process the seller said he'd be willing to mentor me, the house inspector, while answering my questions during the inspections, said he had some rentals over the years and I can have an open line for questions.

Basically move in ready meaning maybe it needs $5000 or less for any cosmetic fixes, new appliance(s), or the like.Flipping doesn't seem like the route for me as I have no construction experience, therefore labor costs would offset most of the gains...or am I wrong?

Home prices are rising at the fastest pace in six years, home purchases are up nearly 50 percent, and construction is expanding again.But even with mortgage rates near a 50-year low, too many families with solid credit who want to buy a home are being rejected.

I know that anyone can be an "inspector" and was wondering if this is also true with appraisals.

A manufactured home meeting the requirements described above and the Federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards (FMHCSS) requirements (see 24 C.F.R. part 3280) is also eligible for the $2,000 credit.Comparable dwelling unit.

I have a good home inspector that I used a couple times that only charges $250.

Climate, Cotton, Copper, Construction.

No matter what knowledge you can pick up, be it real estate, construction, handyman, sales, customer service, etc., it's all part of your foundation that you build upon over the years, and ALL of it will be helpful in real estate investing.
