I can come up with a 5% down payment and closing costs, along with some extra for safety but that's really the best I can do.

I am seriously considering the idea of pursuing real estate full(ish)-time and working together as a team on all spectrums of real estate: sales, rentals, renovations, getting homes sell ready, while investing in other markets for long term rentals.I wanted to hear from someone who has gone this route and taken on real estate full(er)-time in Colorado (even though I'd prefer it to be more middle ground.)If/when we sell we will have a large amount of equity out of our home, zero debt and a fully funded safety fund.

States have always had control over health, safety, and welfare.3.

Wow, this is really good food for thought.

We are trying to decide on which neighborhoods to look in, soI put together a list of things I am looking for with a rating of 1-5 on a scale of importance:-Safety: 4 (My GF has never lived in Philly, I know what to expect.

@Jack Plantin Egress requirements are for fire safety.

But, I've been liking East Asia so much (great food and super convenient to do short trips overseas), I decided to extend another year.. so there goes that plan.Wonder where would be good to buy a multi-unit and hire a PM..

I think as long as safety is not a concern, an ugly property is not a huge detriment.

Every month, when he got the chargeback billing, about $15.00 he would rave about his wife and him eats take out food, no time to cook, and his landlord has a large family, constantly cooks, and have people over for dinner.

I would get multiple quotes.Get the electrical done first as this is a big safety issue.Structural next.The rest of the stuff you can get handymen to quote.Ask for a turnkey quote broken down by item.
