If you have an actual custodian on your 401k, they may not be able to provide much help.

@Jay Hinrichs I’m 25 work in the steel mill near me make pretty good money and have been saving a couple years I just feel like I’ll be old by the time I could actually afford a big building.

Has never heard the noise, I actually did not hear it when I was there either.  

The house that just sold that looks exactly like mine doesn't even have kitchen cabinets instead has shelves and I actually have cabinets and still find I'm getting low balled on the  appraisal.And to top it off there's a new home listing at the moment of another home in my neighborhood with the same layout of my house and is selling for 299,999 so why would mine appraised for way less??

The fact that someone's actually living in the property is a pretty good indicator that the place is livable on some level with running water and power, although there's no guarantee.

Now she 100% bought in and actually helps push me when I start having doubts about my path.Of course as books go, Rich Dad Poor Dad is tough to beat in terms of a conceptual understanding of why real estate.I hope your journey goes well!

I was actually looking at this book on Amazon the other day, but there are so many books from so many people that all seem to be the same nonsense, I tend to shy away from "best seller" lists until some people actually recommend them.Thank you again.

I am very comfortable with the actual renovation, estimates and final results, that is what I do for a living. 

In fact, I would say most people who are actually doing real estate are having a hard time.

Have you thought about investing out of state where your real estate will actually cash flow and make you money every month?
