@Gabriel Mabry I made sure to have the 3 point triangle. I have a print out that has all measurement of the walls. I could upload a pic of it if ya wanted. As for the beam, I had to do a 2 ply lvl!

As for laying it out:

Right now there are doors sitting on stools where all the counters will be going. I also have construction paper taped together to represent the stove, fridge, sink, and dishwasher! definitely helped out a ton to see everything mocked up in real life. 

 Is that the standard for student housing? There is a community collage close to me and it seems to be growing quite rapidly. I'd definitely like to get in on some student housing.

thanks for your response Wendy! I've decided to keep saving my money to buy assets. Maybe once things get rolling I'll use the cash flow from a few propertys to pay the note on the garage and new car.( Like rich dad talks about)

as for the summer car:

it's a classic convertible that I got a smokin' deal on a few years ago. Planned on flipping it, and I've had too much fun with it to sell. 

Thanks everyone! During my next revision I'll have my kitchen designer stick a counter depth fridge in there! I think it's a great idea!

I wish I considered doing something like this before I built the new wall between the bathroom and kitchen.  Too late now though! 

 I had not considered this being a problem! Thanks for bringing that to my attention.  I'll certainly keep that bit of advice in mind!

I current own a fixer upper single family home. Once it's completed I plan on living in it. It needs 25k+ in order to make it move in ready. At the Same time I've started looking at 2-4 unit propertys in my area. I'm going to need cash to get the ball rolling.

My question is when do you guys decide it's time to purchase a new car?  My truck is paid for and isn't in the best shape but, it runs good and hasn't ever let me down. I have a summer car that I'd sell for 7K and the car I'd purchase would be 18-20k. 

Also, I'd like to build a garage at the house I plan on living in. When can I justify spending 15k+ on something that won't be an asset?

Im torn between using my cash to finance a property or buying a new (to me) vehicle and building a garage to park it in?

Thanks Josh! I'll check them out. I've tried to do some of my own layouts using the program that is on lowes website but, it kept crashing. 

In regards to the power triangle: I've mocked up the kitchen using old doors and tape lol the power triangle is there and I think it will be a very efficient layout.

I guess I'm just a bit nervous Because this is my first rehab.

Thank you Blake! I've have to talk to the guy at Lowe's and see if they have the corner cabinet your talking about!

From my research white seems to be the best choice because it's "timeless" any thoughts?
