Got me to click :)Way to crush it and set yourself up for long term wealth building!

Sorry to hear so many people got caught up in this mess.

It really is a business in a box.So far I got one sub to deal off this system.   

I'd say your first move should be to house hack and get out of the apartment, this is the most beginner-friendly way to get started, and as you continue to educate yourself you'll be better equipped to find other deals as you learn.

I have the opportunity for a cash offer where the property has great up side once it is renovated.We can get in to the property no problem since we have the cash, the issue is how to finance the repairs and renovations since we just got started on the business and no longer have a w2 or 2 years income under the LLC? 

I am from this area originally. 

We moved to Spokane in April 2020 from Tampa, FL.

What tips or strategies can I offer to help him finally close a deal?

While we both work regular 9-5's, we wanted to do this on the side until we can turn it into a full time thing.

To all aspiring house hackers and those aiming for a single-family primary to hold it as a long-term rental, what are your biggest frustrations likely keeping you from jumping in the game?
