Bad foundations were my money-makers.

She will lose it.They are offering to pay off her $87,000 debt, they will remove the squatter, they will pour money into the property to ensure it sells for the highest value, and then they will give her an additional $240,000.She is getting $327,000 for a property that she is about ready to lose and it's probably affecting her mental stability and physical health.

Whether it’s driving for a ride-sharing service, freelancing online, or even renting out a room on Airbnb, these extra earnings can add up.

Thy would be losing money in that situation.

You can earn a good income, learn how to be a better manager, network with investors, and maybe even have your license to buy/sell.

I joined some facebook group and sometimes the members of the group offer a joint venture where the original investor has bought a property but will need my money for the renovation.

Thankfully I bought them dirt cheap after the '08 meltdown so after years of break even I made money when I sold them. 

The owner has lost several people’s money. 

Being that I own it outright, and only need $125k (budgeting for unknowns), not many hard money lenders have been overly interested.

I am risk averse and if I were to purchase, I would tear down to the studs and do a full rehab {this would include getting rid of asbestos shingles and insulation).1) I have done a ton of research and it appears as if getting rid of asbestos is very DIY able assuming you spend money on the safety equipment and use it properly.
