Actually, HD doesn't have thousands of 1099s like carpet/cabinet installers, they actually hire one cabinet installing company to do it for them the required insurance is 2M/5M Liability among others, its a whole new different discussion. 1099s are used by most small businesses like part time bar tending, and large businesses who doesn't want to maintain more payroll, like a construction manager, project manager, tax consultant or legal consultant if they aren't incorporated.

I tend to focus on working class neighborhoods with properties I can improve with minor fixes vs renovation projects.

Which I am ok with, I'm really just trying to rent this place so I can tend to my mother and see where she is in a year.

I tend to find my older clients want triple net and an income stream that just nicely outpaces inflation and has equity growth through principal pay down.

Also, they tend base their appraisal off of the negotiated price.

I actually prefer large dogs over small since many people tend to coddle small dogs & they end up spoiled & not housebroken.Due to my job, I'm currently working out of state & renting...with 300lbs of dog living with me.

Renters rarely do that, and thus tend to free up more money for investment.If you can stay disciplined and take the remainder for investment, you will remove a huge weight from your shoulders.

I tend to agree with @bill G I can never get his name to pop up...Given the market we are in here in FW, I might do a FSBO and use the equity for an investment house or something.
