Ask to tag along on an ongoing project.

ThThis Might be good way to dip toe in the pond and help convince wife to do bigger projects esp with not much extra money to work with.Thanks again for any input.

If you hang on and keep the future benefits top of mind you can pull through!

If your goal is long term cashflow and financial freedom than trading in two depreciating assets for one that appreciates and helps you scale towards that 10k vision in the future seems like the right move towards your goals. 

I wish you all the best on your future real estate endeavors and if you need any information from me please let me know.  

My name is Armando and I just moved to the Lehigh Valley to start working on some contractor projects for an investor client of mine and I am looking to add a couple more clients to my list.My backgroundI went to Northeastern in Boston for college studying computers and management but I always loved the idea of real estate, so decided to work for my dad's company doing renovations.

You will see rising rents, lower rates, and a bit less competition in the future. 

Lets face it, not everybody is cut out to be a project manager, and not necessarily on their first or second try.I would advise caution. 

I'm using real estate to add to my (future) retirement income.

If you are hiring a GC that will be handling complex scopes of work, ask to visit one of their current projects.6.
