Another concern I have is I have not had a stable job in the past 3 years.

That includes any profit from the rents, as well as funneling any income I have available from my day job into debts.I am very motivated to keep rolling and get started on the next one soon, but it's seeming a bit difficult when I look at the facts. 

Graduate, get job, save money, invest, build wealth, get married.

There are times to use monthly MI as well if you think you've found a great deal where you can force equity or improve the value of the property so much so that your current loan with monthly MI will be at 80% or lower LTV/loan to value after your improvements then monthly MI is better because you may end up refinancing or removing MI 6-24 months after closing.

Commercial real estate brokerages get contacted often.Over the years I have wasted time with agents saying they wanted to transition or start out with commercial.Some are working full time jobs or part time and trying to do real estate transactions on the side.

As time goes on I realize that I like this job and would like to get more deeply involved with managing his property but I'm not sure how to assert myself without coming off like I want to take over.

BUT NOW due to mining recession house prices are plummeting and so are jobs - it's not looking better in the close future.My girlfriend and I have joined the "Rich Dad" based mentorship program for the UK and connected with a local investors group who already invest into UK (with the same program).The plan is to start with lower budget "buy to let" and find the odd good deal to flip a property for cashflow to reinvest.

The area is growing and there is new job growth, but the market valuations are starting to feel similar to 2008 when the prices fell by 40%.   

It should be someone who is fine with a small job if I go ahead with just the one window right now.While I'm at it, I might as well ask if there are any maintenance companies you recommend.

I'll do my best to keep it concise and interesting :)About me: - Interest in real estate started while in college (Rich Dad Poor Dad)- Worked in sales and management after graduating- Built a real estate investment portfolio part time while working full time- Quit my W-2 job after 3 years and went full time self employed- Started and sold a successful ECommerce business (Still partial ownership, but silent partner.  4-hour work week anyone?
