Hi All, Still relatively new to the game and want to make sure that this is adequate for an exterior paint job.

New exterior door = $?

That's as opposed to a "rate and term refi" where you are paying off an existing loan.There are seasoning issues with either.

I can't tell you how many times I've asked sellers what it was about my site that got them to call me as opposed to other investors and they've said "You answered the phone, they didn't!"

Remember that I'm not a tax professional, but if you decide to set up an LLC, remember that you can affect the tax consequences of your business by electing whatever tax status you desire for the LLC.If you're wholesaling, you'll likely want to elect taxation as an S-Corp, which should allow you to treat some of your income as dividends (as opposed to salary), and avert the self-employment tax on that portion of the revenue.Again, talk to a CPA...and don't take my word for it

I'm considering the hard money route just to reduce the amount of cash out of pocket as opposed to conventional financing.

If you have the ability to save money, term is the way to go as opposed to universal life.

-— Wikipediahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republican_RevolutionThe point I was trying to make regardless of who pushed or pulled whom, is that opposing powers often lead to better and balance solution rather than dogmatic ideological solution.

This would include window replacement, bath & kitchen remodel, exterior and interior painting where the existing paint is scraped or removed, etc.

I am told many people just do a drive by and assume a well kept exterior means the inside is equally well kept and use a standard $X/sq ft.
