A word of advice for both your endeavors.  

I wish you much success in your Real Estate endeavors!

My name is Alvin Aquino,I am residential real estate investor, I tried working hard to know all what i need to avoid mistakes, being very extra careful, by doing my due diligence, planning ahead, as a result of this endeavor, I felt i wanted to full proof investment due to economic situation, so we diversified into commercial retail business with the family.I currently own a townhouse, a rental property that pays the mortgage on my current home in full, and I decided to built another single detached  house close to the church which the family really like, the condition to the lender is to sale my current home, but now we decided not to sale instead rent it out.I am seeking advice and direction on which financial institution to go or a way not to sale my current house instead have it rented to create cash flow and appreciation of the house.

I have a schematic set of architectural drawings and from the drawings I have set up a rough proforma which, so far, is looking like it could be a profitable endeavor.

And although it's only been a month since picking up that book, I have found myself devoting a couple hours a day into this new endeavor with podcasts, articles, and webcasts.
