For me, I only allow my partners to pass on "economic shares" (I am NOT a lawyer, I might be calling this the wrong thing), so their spouse will still get the monetary benefits of the partnership but not have any decision-making power unless I vote them into the company, it prevents me from becoming parnters by default with someone who may not know/understand/value/think/share my investment philosophy5.

The Des Moines area is my focus as well.

The power supplies go bad in them and USB will be replaced in the coming years with USB-C.

I actually had never heard of propelio but it seems like a pretty powerful tool

Of course because of inflation the payment in many years will be less money in terms of spending power.

Either way, with 20k & no debt soon, and you raise the score over 700, to me that math equation equals heavy success.It’s all on you man, so stay focus, and surround yourself with people doing what you wanna do, don’t reinvent the wheel of their success ok.

I think you should focus more on the cash flow for that property instead of worrying about buying it in a B class or C class.

You should focus on finding a job in real estate where they pay YOU, not you pay THEM.

Sorry for not replying sooner; between a recent move and focusing on a career transition, I hadn't seen your post.
