Thankfully, I did well enough with my own design work my bankers was impressed with enough confidence to continue funding me, and I also rejected the notion I was going to willy-nilly my way into a business that will last.

I was under the impression because I have that sum of money tied up, it can be negatively factored into the cash flow because of opportunity cost?

I was looking in the city for this second one, but it was definitely a seller's market and I wasn't impressed with what I got for my money.

Professionals with decades of experience and very impressive track records do all the heavy lifting for you.

The outside needed some updates but did not give off an impression that the inside was completely wrecked.  

I'm impressed by the professionalism of the community as well as the depth of information and contacts available. 

I am impressed that you can get $1500 for a section 8 property.

I was under the impression it wasn't rented yet, but I guess there's long term tenants already they're paying $900/mo.

I did my final walk-through on the 2nd, and I was super impressed with the condition they left it in.  

I'm particularly impressed with how close your actual costs were to your budget.
