If you want to invest, you really need to have boots on the ground in the area you want to invest in.

I'm starting from ground zero, but am excited to start diving in because I want out of the rat race (Yes, I too am a Robert & Kim Kiyosaki fan...who isn't?).

I am in the process of obtaining landlord insurance for 2 properties:1. 2300 sq. ft. home with 3 car garage and in-ground pool worth ~ 560K2. 504 sq. ft. condo in La La Jolla worth ~ 285K I am getting suggestions on coverage by property value but I think it should be square feet because the condo is worth about 285K and 5 miles away would be worth half that.

I did a cost and profit based analysis of my time and have concluded that the my time is better spent towards finding additional properties and working on the next phase of my business and its future expansions.

The TriCities is also just emerging from a nearly 2 month bout with snow on the ground.  

Hello all, I'm in the beginning phase of renovating a house for resale.

As I said above, I was getting out-bid quite a bit, even during pre-listing phases, in the Raleigh market. 

Keep scope/size as-is, but focus on only completing what is necessary to make the place "livable" while doing other aspects DIY or in phases later when prices come down.4.

The ground is dug out around the building, like a trench, and then these openings are throughout.

Eventually being able to manage the design of ground-up residential & commercial new-construction projects.
