It was difficult at first to find someone willing to do the smaller jobs.  

Like you mentioned, finding the house is just one part of the job.  

Since I don't know the area in Orlando very well, I have a job that allows me to call anywhere home and the Orlando area is a place that I'd like to invest in due to its proximity to parks and a potential job offer for my significant other.

My job was to install the Pergo floors, paint, and the floor and ceiling molding.

@Thomas Williamson Sounds like you've done a great job preparing yourself, do you already have a project property selected?

Congrats on doing a great job on that deal. 

Army and working on getting to my dream job; ideally I'd like to work because I like my job and not because I have to.

Here are the ones I default to and adjust slightly, depending on the property class and area (jobs, distance, etc..)

Some of advantages like Depreciation, 1031 Exchange are common... 

My goals are simple; 1st land a job, get a asociate degree in business  (real estate sales/management ) and live a frugal and happy life with my family.
