Being a successful small business owner taught me many valuable skills and gave me a great sense of accomplishment, but with the decline of "traditional playthings" and the rise of electronics as children's entertainment, (do you know a young child that DOESN'T play with a 'screen device' more than wooden blocks?)

Additionally, considering renting out the third unit as a short-term rental which is something I wouldn't be able to accomplish on my own without hiring a management company.

Full Commission Paid.)As investors, we are always looking for two things :1) A Buyer for the house project that we have just competed, and2) Another house project that is in need of repairs or renovation(s).The permanent house trade is the easiest (and cheapest) way to accomplish both of these tasks.

If someone like me with a GED, "checkered" legal past and other issues can accomplish this I KNOW I WILL overcome my current challenges to achieve my dream of becoming a SUCCESSFUL RE investor!?
