We are almost done with renovations and dealing with unforeseen scope of work which I probably should have taken into consideration beforehand but I didn't get a chance to do a thorough inspection considering the condition of the house.But anyhow, I just consider that as an enrollment to the world of real estate investing.   

Quote from @Jake Konkol: Due to unforeseen events I am no longer able to attend BPCON next week.

Quote from @Dalton Foote: @Patrick O'Sullivan Agreed, units managed and circumstances matter @Dalton Foote Company valuation is a big factor that often gets overlooked.

If I'm paying 10% or 12% is somewhat irrelevant if I refi or sell within a year, but the ability to borrow $100K or $125K is much more significant since that extra 25% is my cushion for unforeseen expenses on a project.

None of this is to scare you away from doing it, because I think it is a needed service, a good thing, and can be a real cash printer, but just wanted to prep you for a potential unforeseen hurdle down the road.Lastly, always make sure that you are compliant with city/county codes and have any required licensing etc.  

Quote from @Charise Manuel: Would any of you move forward with a sale under these circumstances?

This was super valuable for me and really put into the perspective that everyone has different circumstances and lifestyle.

After many years of speaking with sellers I'm telling you this is the best mindset shift I've ever had. That someone can be in pre-foreclosure, the house is going to auction in 30 days, this could be their dream home,...

Only the administrator (or the court via order under certain circumstances) can convey an interest in real property that needs to be probated, such as that of a deceased tenant in common like this ex-wife.

(It’s a very unique circumstance, but an opportunity I don’t want to miss out on) 2027: Buy a second home (~$1M) using VA loan.
