I paid a consultant the fee to not just stage my house, but teach me the art ;p I think I sold quickly b.c my house was VACANT but it had staged pictures online ;p The staged pics showed the house potential, and VACANCY showed they can move in quickly.#5.

This has the potential to blow your deal up, unless that inspection report listed virtually no issues.

I had to set up when I was still a W-2 employee.While theoretically one could have a self-directed 401k (e.g. a 401k plan which allowed the person to invest in real estate, etc.) if the person's employer offered such a plan, but virtually no employers will do so (for various reasons but one of the primary is the compliance risk).

It's an art in itself, and a whole different skill aside from the landlording.....You're LUCKY if you already have a team of trusted contractors.....And I thought I did.....I've used the same reputed local plumber for a bunch for my units.....Long story SHORT, he HAD to finish the job that day but only did HALF of it, still leaking a bit after.....The in-house engineer of the condo building tells me, he can do it for $40 bucks and he has the parts already.....How do I go back to the old contractor, cut him off for his half-done job and handle the payment????....... 

I'm now spending my lunch breaks at work using google street view to virtually D4D. 

Obviously college is great for certain careers, but they cannot teach you the art of negotiation or lead generation which is what your first few months/years is in the business.
