I had been thinking about moving into it for 18 months (avoiding capital gains) - and selling my other home, anyway - while I finished up landscaping and such.The market where I live is schizophrenic (prices are all over the map) - and I'm not impressed with the small pool of realtors that work in up here (northern (like two minutes from Canada) New York) .

It looks like you have done well and are adding those rental properties quickly, very impressive.  

I'm impressed.

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.

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.
