After listening to a @Brandon Turner webinar, I was hooked on real estate investing and knew this was the path I needed to take to achieve the goals I set for myself.

At the end of 2016, I was continuing on my path with a total of 14 doors- 7 duplexes.

At this point you are headed down a very dangerous path by not bothering to train your tenants.

So he asked that I find alternate financing and buy him out of the loan.I know there are multiple paths to get short-term financing but I'd like to explore options for a long-term loan.  

I’m a new investor to Nashville, TN.I have wholesaled one deal ($20k profit), and just bought my first multi-family (3 apartments in East Nashville).I am partnering up with my realtor on future endeavors (BRRRR, flipping, more and wholesale deals) and am wondering whether it’s worthwhile getting my own GC license.I enjoy designing and creating, and while have no construction experience... am a little control freak, and haven’t had many good experiences with GC reliability / professionalism to date.I know there are liability risks, etc. but I’d love to hear from other investors who have either got, or considered getting, their GC license as part of their overall investor strategy.What were the factors you weighed up, and why did you choose the path you chose?

@Jay Hinrichs  If I was just starting out I would def recommend a path like this. 

Drive down streets off the beaten path.

It seems like a pretty boring and straightforward move but I'm always looking for creative alternatives!

Once you get the hang of that, the thin paths through the maze sometimes show themselves.

At first, I took a guru course (which I do not recommend), that lead me on a path to searching for the tools that I needed to become informed without letting them trick me into taking my money.
