Lessons learned? Challenges?

The basic house-buying process to give me a foundation for what I ultimately wanted to do.

Also, don't move your handy man in to the property and trade rent for services, what a nightmare!

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?
