My goal on Bigger Pockets has always been to help BP members and new investors avoid pitfalls and help offer tips and tricks to avoid lost time and money.

I'd rather try to get it from the older lender.The reason I could not go through with them is technical - I would not provide them certain documents regarding my current dwelling (which I was not aware I needed to do with a DSCR loan), I did not start the process with the new lender until I made sure I absolutely need to.I also paid them for the process 1K which I'm pretty sure I wont get back even though it was clearly mentioned that I will if the loan doesnt go through.This feels like such a wild market.. every lender has its own rules..its my first time so I'm learning, will never work with another lender before asking ALL the right questions.But getting my tenant upset again is not something I wish to do.. so I hope a few emails a day will do the trick

You're tricking your brain into thinking that you're taking action when, in reality, you're not. 

Connecting with local GC groups in your area will help you connect with subcontractors, find out tips and tricks of the trade in your local area (since all areas and their real estate differ slightly).Also, have you considered the motivation behind building a brand-new duplex versus finding one on the market?

Now, I go back and rewatch for all the tips and tricks gold he has in there about construction etc.The office hours are incredibly helpful as well.

Your seller can complain years down the road that he was "tricked" and you will be thrown into a lawsuit and investigation. 

But when the city requires you to put a large amount into escrow for POS, it's like a magic trick: all the wannabe investors disappear!

Proper‘s latest trick is they refusing to pay the business income replacement.

Sometimes that's the trick but plan for the worse.
