It has done well. 

Despite the challenges, the project was a success, proving that well-planned investments can lead to significant profits.

Every loan and bank will have its associated fees and cost as its the price to do business but if you see more leverage in tapping into existing equity that could very well be the case.

While you should always consult a CPA and/or attorney for their professional advice, here's my 3 cents (I'm sure others will chime in as well):1) Having an LLC may make it "easier" to track but it's not needed in this situation as you can run this through your personal return just as well.

I think you have the basics of meeting partners and people to work with in your local market and seem to be well on the way with two deals going already so big congrats there!

Well if you think the guys hanging out at home depot are contractors .

Eliminate debt, establish a budget, and save.

If you like the neighborhood, chances are other people will want to live there as well.

Hope all is well.

Not only cities but property types as well.
