Hi All,I want to get started buying notes and wanted to compare apple with apples.

Keep a decent reserve fund on hand and call your own plumbers/repairmen as needed.

When I started my MTR journey in January 2023 I would never have guessed that less than a year later I would manage over 20 MTRs and have over 80 MTRs total in my company's network.

He’s been working on a rehab, he did a little bit of the work and then just stopped doing the work then started getting hard to reach.

We did find a RE attorney from the Grand Rapids area that has structured a handful of similar land-contract projects and he will take the lead with the paperwork. 

This was a 10k and 50 point hit to the credit lesson I do not want anyone else trying start a business in REI.  

However, once I get my own home purchase out the way, the next move is to start building a rental property portfolio. 

I started my career as an Architect specializing in exactly what you are looking for. 

I am looking for rental properties in Lawton, OK to get started.

Real Estate is definitely not just a "numbers analysis" and you are definitely thinking about things the right way - but I think a good next step for you would be to spend some time putting a lot of this stuff into a (very) basic financial model/spreadsheets mapping out all the potential costs and estimates on effect (effect on value, on exit, different scenarios) - I think getting started with that framework should help with these decisions immensely
