Hey all,My name is Tony, I'm 35, just started actively pursuing financial independence and have been really hammering away at learning everything I can.

When you are starting out the ability to be a hammer swinger and DIY things yourself in a workman-like manner.

Over the course of a weekend—and fueled by beer, food, and sledgehammers—we completely cleared out the space.

Even if you're the GC not swinging the hammer, you need a license.

Then I will be able to really hammer at this. 

Consider putting the property up for sale and get your life back on track, then try investing again. bottom feeder investors are going to hammer this poor guy..

It WILL always be like smashing through a wall with your head as fists as the hammer, you will "get bloody", it will hurt, it will exhaust you, it will test you to your breaking point and beyond.

Do you want tenant-friendly or a hammer? 

Maybe volunteer for habitat for humanity and go swing a hammer for a few afternoons and build a house for some underprivileged family???

Hammer got dropped in Highlands with some level of grandfathering to existing rentals.
