I figured a job in real estate might be good for solving both of those problems!

Investors lose out.Tesla could make an investment that aims to solve the housing need.

As a real estate investor, you're in the problem-solving business.

Collectively, we have about $25,000 to start investing; but by the end of the day on Saturday, I think we came to the LOUD CONCLUSION, that we really don't have a clue where to start.

When I do not have the details of everything it worries me that I will jump in and come into problems I can not solve because I am not prepared...

Only complaints I’ve had were of insects or rodents which I have solved with contracting a local pest company that does maintenance there.

Personally, I believe that it is wise to that a separate account for every rental so that it is easy to see and account for all of the debits and credits for that property.Simplii Financial and PC have good FREE accounts for this type of thing.It is also a very good idea to keep ~$5,000-10,000 in additional cash in those accounts "in case" something happens.It is a horrible feeling when you have late rent, with ZERO $$ in that property's account when the mortgage payment is due.It is only a matter of time until we as landlords run into issues and need cash to solve those issues.Its a great feeling to be able to sleep at night knowing that you are covered for a few months (6 months) if needed if/ when someone decides to not pay etc. 

Missing/unaccounted for sqft, problems the buyer side doesn't want to solve ect. 

I am building a team of skilled wholesalers in my area to help solve problems for investors and sellers alike.

David Greene emphasizes this a lot, the best opportunities lay in identifying problems that others have but you might be able to solve when they can’t or won’t.
