Self leveling  caulk 

I think what I'll end up doing is move the cable that is going inside the house and putting it somewhere it is not an eye sore (it's eye level and not discreet).

Ordinary investors don't have the level of capital to be able to do that.

We are at the highest level in RE in our history.

You will need to either have a good resource, a good marketing plan, a stomach for a true fixer upper, or get lucky. 

I am reaching out to any and all who are in the industry and interested in an extremely ambitious student, hard worker, and I am willing to begin at any level in order to achieve my goals.

I want to go to the next level- I just don't know how. 

Bigger Pockets Property Insights tool has been useful, even if it's not perfect, it does list known ads, and it indicates the confidence level that it has in its valuation.  

I might be willing to live in a living room behind a curtain to make the numbers work but that's about the level of my "discomfort pendulum" at the moment. 

But this is another level altogether.
