That said, if you are in it for less than 100k, and somewhere around 30k out of pocket, then you don't really need to rent it all that much to make some money. 

@Bjorn NielsenThis negative review reflects my own experience: https://infolific.com/money-ma....You might want to ask yourself how they make money.

Yes it costs money, but yes it's worth it (assuming they're a great lawyer). 

As best I can I point out either evidence of issues if we can see them when we show homes, so you don't waste inspection and option money on homes you end up not really wanting to buy.   

Whatever time you spend learning the pros and cons, and getting professional advice before you make your offer to buy them will be money and time well spent.Good luck on your journey!

Probably made more money on the sale of the land and the house than they ever did farming, sad as that is. 

I'll do it in about 6 months once I have a foothold in NC.Yeah, I learned the hardway by spending money unnecessarily on this kind of stuff lol

Affiliate MarketingAn experienced consultant can help determine a budget, which type or types of marketing to spent it on, your target customer, how much time per day you spent on online marketing, and coordinate a website, blog, forum participation, paid advertising, generic advertising, and measure the success of each campaign.For those of us who started 15 years ago, and tried each new market type as it unfolded, we have a pretty good idea of where to spend our money and time.

Which would leave me money to spare for other renovations.
