Curious to hear why you have specifically chosen Gilbert.

If it closes at a higher price, you know why your offer did not get accepted, if it closes at a lower price, however it sales for CASH, you know why they were chosen. 

If you have the down payment, want to invest where you live, and have chosen SFH as your niche, that seems like it's viable option.  

The capstone can be anything to do with real estate and I have chosen to "pitch a deal" where I find a deal and write and present on what it would take to execute.

But because I don't want to leave my future success up to hearsay, I have chosen real estate as my vehicle to a successful life.

@Troy FeldmanIt sounds like the exit strategy you have chosen will not work in the market you have chosen.

We have chosen to seek out a third party provider.

The rehab looked great and I love the materials chosen. 

Some of our tenants have chosen ATT U-Verse, which uses phone lines.

It's all about the guarantor on the lease, experience in that chosen industry, a track record of success, liquidity and net worth of the guarantor, and how easily attachable the assets are if something goes wrong.For instance I would never front money for tenant improvements on a business that is not a proven performer.
