It may be a high-paying job, but the hours suck (most money is made on weekends), the conditions suck (you're sitting in a chair in a dark room for endless hours with not enough sleep), and it builds bad habits (my view of the value of a dollar is skewed for life).

Women's basketball is a sure bet...

In this case, even if you do decide that restoring is the best bet, then building onto something that has been destroyed might not join 100% perfect.

The best bet is finding a successful agent with too many deals, and working for them until you can get your clientel built up.

I bet when you ask this attorney for non-refundable upfront money he won't do it.

I bet you are learning a whole bunch of what you ain't supposed to do.

Some may have balloons, too.Your best bet is to search for a portfolio lender and go actually have a discussion with the loan officer who approves these loans.

If they are parking for too short intervals for the tow company out there it could help break the habit but it will be annoying to your tenants too.

Exceptions to this would include scenarios where the investors are willing to work you through mistakes (i.e. they aren't Uncle Joe, they are seasoned investors that will walk you through difficult projects) and scenarios where the truly great deal is simply out of your reach alone.But, for most people, I bet that getting started small, on your own, with 100% ownership is probably ideal. 

Great feeling I bet!
