First of all, I'm 21 years old in Birmingham, AL, about to graduate college, and I have no debt.

It's just that I do not want to turn away potentially good tenants, as they moved here for a better life, as the son is in college, and the husband has already had a full time job for the time he has been here.

Given your level of question Ben and it's awesome you are asking, I would get your feet wet by trying to do some finding, or what you Americans call bird dogging for somebody who is already an established flipper or wholesaler.If you try and go straight to buying something you may get tripped up on the first simple question a seller asks you.

I am not getting any younger and I see that I am not at that level where I should be in providing for my family and their future.

Some feedback on your plan: level of comfort with how much you owe is a personal thing, but one thing you could do to go faster is to leave the financing in place as you add properties, then once you've reached the requisite number of properties, attack the mortgages until they are paid off.

I have 4 questions, dealing with two people, Person "A" and Person "B"1) How much property-level landlord insurance should one get, assuming: The properties in question are all value of ~$250K average with 20% equity (~$50K equity value).

The major issued are: It needs leveling (block and beam) It looks like it pretty easy to level, and the beams underneath look pretty good, no termite damage.

Or the particular zip code has above average claims and is a college town?

Competing for grants and other monies from foundations and the govt is a whole 'nuther level that requires ongoing efforts by professionals in the grant writing field.The B Corp appears to me as a feel good pseudo entity at this point.

Everybody has to find their own level of acceptable risk.
