Once you free yourself from that unrealistic goal, then you can focus on maximizing the returns on your capital.

But once I got my first cash flow check, followed by a refi, I was hooked.thanks for sharingGino

Any tips if I need 10k to purchase cash or suggestions for loans?

Feel free to send it my way. 

Looks like Landlord wants to terminate the lease without costs to him, he gave me a check for the security deposit (with memo noted: lease cancellation) and keeps insisting that I cash itI didn't agree nor imply that I want to terminate the lease and I didn't cash the check

Plenty of cash flow and appreciation.

Her and her bf plan on converting a section of the house to an attached ADU to help with bringing in some cash flow and renting out the other bedrooms to some friends of theirs. 

They also typically have a free two week trial.

An hour drive may be difficult at first, but the thought of cash flow at the end of the month will make the drive worth it.Good luckGino
