My First Property

I'm laying it all out there.​ Here's my in-depth journal of acquiring, renovating, and renting my first property. You may think I'm insane. I probably am, but I decided to invest in a market far, far away. We're talking 2,000+ miles away. It wasn't easy. It wasn't smooth. It still isn't smooth. But, I took the first step and jumped in. So, hop on this roller-coaster, see my wins, my massive mistakes, and most importantly, the valuable lessons learned.
