I used to remodel houses, eventually got a civil engineering degree and an MBA, and now work as an area sales managers for a company in the concrete industry.

Hi Account Closed , How recent was your MBA and what are the details (what school, full time, executive, online)?

It's great to see the next generation of investors coming on strong.I will have to say that, although I eventually wind up getting my MBA, one of the most useful classes I took in high school was wood shop.

I have an MBA w/ a concentration in finance so I've always been a paper asset guy and below is what I personally do, but am no way qualified to give financial advice so do your research first and check with a qualified financial professional if you have one.

BELOW market rate SBA 504 or 7a with only 10% down if you can handle MBA level paperwork?

Despite my job and good education, MBA from a well known school I've done roofs, installed piers under a cracked slab, added a couple of half baths-doing all plumbing myself, installed more ceramic tile floors than I care to count, etc.Either learn some estimating and construction skills or look for projects that will create a major payoff from small changes.You're doing great, keep it up.
