I would be happy to introduce you to the great opportunities the Dayton market has to offer. 

I have an opportunity to buy a house in Lufkin Texas.

Hello everyone, so I have an opportunity to do a joint venture for my first deal.

I emailed the owner back and said that I appreciated the information and opportunity but I was not going to be able to help him out.

However, I'm looking for more opportunities beyond the MLS. 

All should be taken into account when investing, but it is risky to be dependent on appreciation alone for an investment.Given what you've said, it sounds like the value of the property should be going up so I would definitely hold onto the place unless you can uncover other opportunities where you strongly believe you'll be able to generate a higher ROI by selling. 

Like who do hire to ask about building code and regulations, opportunities for 1st time home buyers, etc.

I'm thinking that the combination of Veteran/Woman business owner would afford us the opportunity for some creative financing options.

@Matthew Rayl The opportunity costs of borrowing from your TSP or any retirement account is generally much greater than people anticipate.

I'd really rather cash out and use the cash for other opportunities.
