The main issue is that half of the acreage is blocked by a creek which I'd have to build a means to cross. 

I had also been building a relationship up with my lender over the past half decade, so they allowed me to add the value of a second property to my HELOC. 

Maybe you keep the condo since it's the easiest one to manage for your heirs, but then sell off the other two.

We added value by re-doing the whole house, installed vinyl floorings, rebuilt 2 and a half bathrooms, re-painted the whole house, replaced all the hardware in the house, installed new lighting, ceiling fans, re-painted the kitchen, and completely remodeled the upstairs.

The easiest and best thing to do is to sell.

We have been working with them and so far, they appear to be the easiest & quickest to obtain funding from.

A full bathroom addition can potentially boost value by up to 20%, while a half bath might add around 10.5%.

Hi Everyone,  I joined TLBC and they refused to refund me my money, however they offered me half back. 

-The niche, boutique brokerage is a great target because they are generally slammed with more business than they know what to do with, they generally are still using fax machines and rotary dialers, (i'm only half joking I still see @aol emails all over costar to this day) so it leaves ample opportunity with anyone that can use an crm a chance to add real value and grow the business in a measurable way.- These tend to be "assassin" type shops who are small teams of pretty elite operators, and they aren't bloated down with BS like the big CRBE's etc of the world, so you'll get exposed to more, you'll get exposed sooner, and they will generally be ideally with a niche industry or product type but will often have a ton of satellite deals they get which will get you cross industry exposure. 

It has taken us almost three and a half years to get to this point and most of that was the one year seasoning period from the lender and working with them to get the required documents for the county recorder.I'll definitely check them out.
