Good luck on your journey man. 

I’m looking for a good framer/carpenters to help with me the renovations.

It sounds like we didn't do a good job of setting expectations with you on the front end.

This is a good baseline though of real costs that will get a project done. 

. 👍 Good luck!

You have to learn what you are willing to accept as not perfect, but good enough. 

If you consistently analyze properties, recognizing a good deal will be much easier when it shows up.

Folks this is meant as a beneficial post and not about good or bad positions.  

Wrong Property Management ApproachIt doesn’t matter how good the people who are doing the property management are, if they are not using a property management approach designed for co-living, everyone loses.  

If your interest payment is $8,125Your stocks have to make a dividiend of about $11,000 of which you would prolly pay 15% to 25% in federal / state taxes / NIIT.Assuming you will make a 10%-11% return is not guaranteed.You will also feel good about having a paid off property(relief).Furthermore, your credit score may go up with a paid off property.Best of luck!
