There's still lots to do and rightly so the capital should be last. 

I am currently saving up for a down payment for my first property which I plan to turn into an investment property (either a Duplex or Single Family Home/Condo and get room mates)I currently work in the Commercial construction field as a Mechanical Project Manager so I have a eye for observing how the typical MEP related things are built and designed and why.Since I have approx. 10+ years in construction experience it makes sense for me to leverage my work experience/wisdom and try to invest in distressed properties and renovate them myself or hire out contractors to do so.I am also trying to study and get my real estate license and possibly look into learning how to become a home inspector as well. 

And I only work with experienced folks.In your line if your doing a lot of DSCR which I have to think you are then of course there are 1000 brokers out there doing the same thing. and some folks just will move a file over .25 bps and not blink and Eye..

The last inspection we performed revealed a broken window (tenant damage) and a very broken sewer pipe (not tenant damage).  

I had a long time tenant that I was looking out for after a accident to later on become a squatter in my property through bankruptcy, that situation drove my anxiety and finances through the roof!! 

People wash dishes in the sink as long as they are aware.

My name is Sean and I’ve been living in Asheville for the last 4 years.

I'm eyeing it as a potential STR play. 

No issues over the last 8 years.

While I believe I operated with many of these strategies and tactics EVENTUALLY, I spent a long time “spinning my wheels” early on when trying to negotiate before establishing a rapport.
