I won’t be hiring a CPA to do my taxes.

Hi Everyone, newbie here trying to do my due diligence. 

I am 19 years old and have been doing real estate for a little over a year.

I do have an empty lot next to my current SFH , doing nothing (but costing me money to mow :)) my thought was to build a detached guest cottage to serve as an overflow for guests or it could also serve as a seasonal / monthly rental.

You can learn to do this independently or get a rockstar REALTOR to lead the way.

Quote from @Allan Kapoor: Do you have a good property manager lined up?

What documents do they require, what credit scores do they allow, how do they verify previous rental history, etc.?

I want to do a straight finance since I find the other options to risky.

I was determined to build my real estate business a lot quicker, with a lot more sustainability, and a lot less commitment to the tedious work most thought was required.So, here’s what I decided to do.

Something that I can do with self directed funds?
