Locations such as Home Depot or Loews in some areas do have tool rental centers.  

Long story short, we are going to be working with Texas Medical Center in Houston, and the goal is to get as many nurses into Houston as possible. 

I started a BP meetup a year ago Oct. we meet the last Weds. of every month at 7pm at the Colleyville Center 5301 Riverwalk Colleyville TX 76034 We would love to have you join us.  

My guess is that, if you still have these relatively small debts hanging over your head, your capital reserve is likely in its early stages, yes?

Potential responsible parties ae identified and most remediation work is done with one open case to be remediated by 2019.The subject property is a neighborhood strip center with existing tenants and with a vacant units providing an upside potential.  

Intention is to have a parent holding LLC with subsidiary LLCs to hold assets, form joint ventures and possibly one as a holder of interests in foreign entities (we may do some investing in South America too).My wife/partner is a foreign national in the US and does not have any US based documentation (no Tax ID, no Green Card, no SSN, etc) at this stage but we do intend for her to get residency documents in the next couple years.The plan now is to incorporate the LLC(s) beginning in January with myself holding 50% and my foreign national wife holding 50%.  

No, at this stage of the game, I am not physically in my stores.

Bad" market areas, which a number of people might include South Providence and Olneyville in, tend to be much cheaper, so the returns are better - but properties in those areas also tend to be much more management intensive.If you're going to be managing yourself, which is a very good way to get familiar with an area, I'd say stick within 1/2 hour (ideally 15-20 minutes) of wherever you're going to spend most of your time (home, if you'll be retired).You'll find very quickly that before you know it, you'll probably develop the Rhode Island mindset of not wanting to drive too far, and it's just easier to stay on top of properties when they're closer by.I'm much more familiar with properties in the Warwick/Coventry/West Warwick and north part of the state, so if you know you're going to be centered around Newport I'd suggest connecting with some people specifically around there.

I'm still in the education stage of my real estate investing life.

First, you're going to have a consistent tenant quality on your property - people at different income levels and life stages behave differently which has the potential to increase strife in close quarters.
