RE bring excitement to my life.. i love coming on BP reading post and listening to podcast. I love to analyze a deal, i love number period. I day i will become a full time REI but until then I'm just gonna learn more and educate myself the best way i know how. RE is fun and enjoyable which makes anything in life easy...

I recommend your GC do that kinds of stuff for you..they (should) know when to actually apply for a permit...

Good luck on your first flip tho!!!

I would advice them about hidden fee, such as insurance, cap ex, vacaney etc... a lot of people just see rent-mortgage=cash flow newbie don't understand its a lot more to it...

i think you should shop around at other smaller banks or lenders. someone should approve you. your situation isn't that bad(from what u stated)..

good luck

well I'm the youngest at my job by far but people always tell me they respect my grind and wish me luck.. Hopefully they really mean it but if not oh well.. Every time they see me with my headphones in they know I'm listening to a podcast or something involving REI. Overall my co workers mean well and when it comes to anything involving real estate they always ask for my advice, which make me feels pretty special, especially since I'm the youngest...
