For every dollar you either add in value to your building (increase in rent, etc) and for every dollar you're able to save in cost (heating, insurance, etc), your lending institution should be willing to lend you through refinancing between 10 and 20 times the value you added.

I welcome and appreciate any guidance on where to get started, tools to analyze deals, connections, and anything that could help me grow my career, while offering some value back to you guys!

I'm also putting away money into 401k (roth) from my job as it's giving away free money matching.Unfortunately the support from work is not giving me adequate tools to plan my future considering my real estate and my goals.My plan is to keep the real estate until i can suck out all the depreciation (or most) then exchange like-kind property to not have to pay that money back.

Hopefully those tools will give you a good start.

I also sold $12,000 worth of tools that were left behind in the house.

I work a full time job and plan to use a real estate liscense as a learning tool and hopefully some income. 

I'm great with people, handy with power tools, a little bossy and teeny bit crazy.
