@Rigo Monzalvo also, what good are codes if you don't know how to inform people to follow them? So much for public servants.

@Rigo Monzalvo I'm not sure but it's possible 5/8 thick drywall would be the easiest fix. If the wall is bare. If not adding another layer of 1/2. I know there's special paint or coatings you can apply but that can be pricey per gallon. Just my .02

@Ashly McGlasson

Refinance and rent?

@David Hendrix thank you looking forward to attending one soon!

@Brandon Sturgill you can't argue with the cash flow of something that's paid in full! Thank you for sharing your advice with me.

@Danielle Wolter thanks for the warm welcome!

@Brandon Sturgill I agree with you. I'd love to buy and hold now. I just don't know how to be able to quit my job if I'm buying and holding. How do I have enough cash flow to pay myself to do the work? Or am I wanting to run before I walk?

Hi @Brandon Sturgill thank you! In a way you could say I'm investing local. My wife and I completely gutted and remodeled our home. So we will be using the equity from that to start. But, if the deal is good why not look a little farther away. My trouble is I don't know how to start the ball rolling. Should I start with a small flip and pay someone else to do it until there's enough money for me to quit my job and do the flips myself? I guess it's a trust issue. I know how to do the work myself so I feel I should do it. But I know the scaling is faster by letting someone else do the work.  

Long term goal is buy and hold. With a 10 year goal of a place in Maui with my wife's family.

Is there still a meet up in Mansfield?

Hey everyone! Looking to get started and meet my goals. Would like to become a mentor someday to help others too.
