Looking back, was it better to own a 10 - 15 year old SFR in Irvine (need to put down 30% to break even on cash flow) or buy new construction in Riverside where you cash on cash return is 15%+.

Smart to pay it and move forward.I'm intrigued by the settling foundations and apparent common occurrence of windows breaking.

I took a break from his blog due to school, but I'm back at it and catching up on his blogs.

I would listen to BP podcasts during my break, and one of them was @Jerry Puckett talking about his wholesaling business, and his website Market Like A Wholesaler.

I am just not too familiar with the business aspect and do not want to break any laws or regulations but need to ensure that before the 5 month mark the lender is paid off or else the interest rate hikes up.

Figure $850 per month in expenses (taxes, insurance, vacancy, repair costs) and mortgage payments you will be lucky to break even.

This leaves you having to sell to an investor that doesn't have that issue if you want to get close to break even to get out of it.
