We added a new roof, furnace, siding, windows, concrete driveway, updated the kitchen, master bathroom, added carpet and flooring throughout.

Also to master meter the water. 

You get a hands on experience in all major fields you need to master: evaluating and buying a property, finding and interviewing tenants, property maintenance, working with contractors, lending, taxes, landlord tenant law etc..Many of my younger clients will buy another duplex after one year - with a low down owner occupied loan, as opposed to 25% for investors - this allows to grow a portfolio of a few duplexes over a few years quite easily - if you choose to do so.

I’m curious on knowing what’s your vision of the ideal mastermind group?

@Deborah Repaskey if the owners pain point is managing the rental/dealing with tenants, a master lease with an option may be a good path for you.

House is a 3/1 from the 40s with master bedroom being unconventional (part of an addition, above the attached garage). 

I’ve had laundry room’s consist of just washer dryer in my master closet, washer dryer behind double doors off the kitchen, and in the garage.

Tax sales , sub2 , owner financing , land contracts .lease options , master leases  Etc.. the point is there’s so much more to this game then doing what most people do :hoarding down payment cash for years till you have a pile of it , calling up a realtor , getting a ginormous loan from the bank ,buying an overpriced property off the MLS and hope and pray the tenants stays so you can get your sleazy 100 bucks in cash flow each month . 

I teamed up with a master plumber to start a drain cleaning and repair company, he is the field manager and I do the admin work, scheduling and handle the money, I can have my guys booked out for a month solid if I want.

My next goal is to work full time and pursue a master's in data science, not full time.
