However I was in my early 40's before I finally woke up and got into RE investing. 

@Mike Harris thanks I’ve been wanting to do this for a few years, but finally took the leap.

She told him to pick his best and final for all properties.

If hoping for experience to put towards a job then there is no reason not to get paid for your efforts and be somewhat close to the final goal.

Can report further once I complete a final review with attorneys

Finally don't file a claim for small items, my rule is 10k or above, so I set my deductibles accordingly. 

Today I have a offer on a property so we can finalize on another house.

Finally after a long crazy 2020 year, we have signed the contract on my flipping house that we did in the beginning of 2020. 

I'd love to see the final rehab on the bigger house. 

Making the purchase all cash, is not as awesome as it seems – we tied up $195,000, which made things a little tough specially because we finalized another purchase right after this one.Things we learned: (1) having cash on hand is useful, we saved ourselves some money by financing the project ourselves.
