My partners contractor quoted appx 10k to finish the remodel which he said he would pay and I have 10k to put down.

What are you going to do with the property after she's finished in 2-yrs?

Also, the 1-2-year hold approach is usually staggered, so that once you've finished deploying all the capital, you then start seeing it come back as the initial investments come up for review.

Or the 1/4 in drywall overtop and then finish.

Someone that has experience in pulling eviction list in cook county would be helpful thanks

I hope to finish that before summer.

For example, if you borrow $100,000 from a hard money lender at 16% and it takes you 6 months from start to finish to pay it back, your interest charges would be $8,000.

Luckily for me, I was able to graduate debt free and land a software development job at a pretty big sized company in Costa Mesa right after I finished university. 

It already has a walk out basement that is fully finished as a separate apartment.
