@Steve Yang..Did you find what you were looking for yet?  

My partner (okay, i'm bias b/c he's my husband) knows all the constructions, building, woodworking, the fixing up logistical stuff, and I'm the finance  and design.. you will be 100x happier and more successful if you find a partner that's a ying/yang... a partner and a mentor to match your strategy!  

I saw this last time too where all these flips shows came out, seminars from educators were rampant, news stories were once again touting real estate as in vogue and a juggernaut that can't be stopped.I know agents right now buying cars,big houses, trips out the yang thinking (this is awesome).I am trying to make smart investments today and hold a certain liquidity position to take advantage of discounted assets in the future.There is talk that Trump's plan for reducing corporate taxes and road improvements might extend the cycle out 2 to 3 more years but nobody knows for sure.

It's a pretty broad question not knowing your friend @Freddy Yang.

Quote from @Steven Yang: I think Theresa read the law wrong.

It's not black and white, cut and dried, or ying and yang!

@Jiwei Yang it all depends on the property, the appraised value, the income it generates and finally your experience and financial strength.They will use the income from the property to service the debt but they will still be looking for you to guarantee the loan so you will need good credit, income and assets including cash reserves.
