Don’t mix apples and oranges.I agree with Jake.

We initially got estimates to renovate our big barn  for 175-220k and ended up banging it out ourselves in 3 months on weekends and nights for 20k.

With it being a newer built home, it's hard to get comps that's truly apples to apples.

Make sure you compare apples to apples as they say

None of this matters to you though, just compare apples to apples.

For an apples to apples comparison, you have to look at the IRR.

If you need education, you should go to a Barnes and Noble and look for real estate books vs. handing thousands over to a guru

I heard Google and Apple is moving to Durham.

In the past couple weeks I began the process of doing a cash out refi with a local bank to pay off an owner finance note I have on the property and to put an additional $30-40k in landscaping, a barn, and a few other items like front porch decking.

It's apples and oranges to comment from the institutional lending perspective on guys that just want to invest their personal funds and make paper.
