That’s average deal no fixer upper.

You will find some level of commuting in Maine, however, the density around Portland generally allows for a shorter commute (20-30 minutes) because we don't deal with a ton of traffic like other areas.

I’ve determined that the way to success for me is to speak publicly every chance that I get, which has improved my comfort level with it dramatically, and to seize every opportunity to try something new.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a contractor who is good at rental/BRRRR level work?

Could I purchase a fixer upper and rehab it, get renters in, refinance, repeat? 

Hello everyone,I analyze a property a day (sometimes two) and it has made all the difference in my comfortability level.

Therefore, buy a fixer upper, repair it and rent it.

What jobs are available as an entry level?

@Alec Weissgerber It really depends on a lot of things: age, income/career, investment horizon, skill set, lifestyle goals, interest level and qualifications in starting an REI business, what form the inheritance is in currently (unlikely that it’s sitting in cash), etc. etc. etc... she should have a certified financial planner look at the whole picture and offer sound advice.

Bringing the property to appraisal-worth level is probably the best course of action.
