Hey BP,My goal is to hear some advice and/or pointers on what has worked for people with experience in what their advice is.Background:I'm a Carpenter in Northern California working for a General Contractor totaling 40Hrs-60hrs a week My current work is mainly Tenant Improvements/Remodels, In the past I've done custom homes as well.I'm sole provider at the moment for my family and am saving what I can though it probably wont be significant for InvestingIssues (oppurtunities):Dont have much capital 5000-10,000 - Saving about 500 a month Dont have GC license yet - Will have GC license in November 2017Will have Construction Project Management Cert early 2018 (March)I'm looking to be proactive and find an oppurtunity to enter real estate investing with a sustainable stratgegy.Current thoughts:- I can work full time and get jobs on the side to add to capital power - wholesale remotly, with savings?

Keep making money until things improve, and the value hopefully returns.  

So it has to git inside of current laws and services.

I don't have any direct experience with that service, but most seem to like it.Good luck!

The target market seems to be millennials who are transient, place high value on experiences in lieu of possessions and seem to enjoy the services these co-living start ups offer.

Also, we are starting a service that manages vacation/short-term rentals here in the area. 

Good service, but they're not really in-charge of the loan, and can just escalate to FACO for you.   

You said that improving it will attract better tenants, but will it attract higher paying tenants?

I have been reading at building codes to have a better understanding of the field. but as my priority I would like to get a construction project management job, improve the skills and then jump on it feeling more confident.

You want to get the best deal, but to do the most service and create that win-win of course so when a seller is telling you they need to get out, you find out why and how you can help.
