awesome Mark let me try that approach see if it will work 

It is too late for us to consider this approach for this year, but if there is still an issue as the summer comes to a close we may need to evaluate if that is our best course of action.  

I would have the opinion of your CPA on the best and less expensive approach.

I'd make sure the project is in fact a deal before approaching OPM/HM

Hi @Terry Harris after inspection depending on what come up I first touch base with my attorney to discuss best approach, he will make sure I am protected during the attorney review phase for items that come up during inspection. 

Because it seems like from a strictly numerical approach the "better" strategy is to just buy stocks.

So my DTI is approaching 50%.

Now I’m getting the feel for things and getting my feet wet with different approaches to financing.

Flipping is a bit intimidating to me, but I'm definitely interested in the owner-occupy approach that you are taking, hoping that I can have 3 properties in my name after 3 years as a good foundation. 

This property is built in the 50s or 60s and the building codes have changed a lot, how to approach county to get this info?
