Anyone that works with material that contains lead paint has to have some minimum amount of qualification, which is why I'd suggest demoing as part of your scope to get lead certificates.

My mentor / business partner who is showing me the ropes in RE is starting his own property management business after being in the real estate game for 13 years.He is offering me a job in said property management business as an on-call maintenance person, and also said he can pay me to do yellow letters for him (I currently send out a lot of them for my own investing purposes).He said he can either pay me for each letter, or a 10-15% commission on income from any leads I generate (so if I land him a property that he makes $150/mo on, I would make $15-$22.50/mo on each property. 20 properties = $300-$450 / mo total).Either way, he will pay for all the material and postage- so I'll just be taking care of the rest (printing, packing, sending).

So you're in the right place if you utilize it correctly!

I own this thing free and clear, and my property taxes & utilities are always paid current.What if I decided to:a) Stop paying my HOA fees and never pay them againb) Fall out of compliance with the HOA restrictions in some other way (stop mowing the lawn, let my house fall apart, some other obnoxious violation).What kind of consequences would I have to deal with from the HOA?

I assume you're taking into consideration everything for the homes: taxes, insurance, vacancy, repair reserves, expenses (CPA, utilities, permits/fees), property management, etc.The way I have been able to purchase my investments in such a short span, is to purchase investments which need significant improvements, complete the improvements myself (I'm a contractor as my day job), rent the unit and then refinance to pull cash out.In addition to doing that, I went to friends and asked to borrow money.
