Make yourself the best customer.1.  

Hey Ian, I build custom homes however my clients want.

Frankly I considered cancelling within my first 3 months, but from my own frustration I realized it was to my own fault and not due to lack of customer support.

Because new designs of rings will attract a lot of customers.

Enough to justify using him every time he is available (and he has bumped me ahead of other customers because of my repeated use).  

He has quoted the break-in's as to why the timelines keep shifting.I have requested pictures over and over again (again, completely remote), and I have only received a handful the entire time.

First-time buyers may appreciate modern, budget-friendly finishes, while higher-end buyers might expect premium materials like quartz countertops or custom cabinetry.Study Local Listings: Look at recently sold homes in the area, particularly those at the top of your price range.

But the question is whether one can actually achieve the proforma cash flow on older properties with a less economically stable tenant base.Based on your picture, you appears fairly young.My advice is buy properties in quality locations think long term 10 to 15 years - slowly and safely build your portfolio - equity and cash flow will increase over time and in 10 to 15 years you may become financially free.People talk cash flow is king but one can NOT generate financial freedom cash flow with $250,000 or $500,000 invested (equity).Even at a 10% cash on cash return, one needs $1.2M invested to generate $120K a year $10K a month.You want property to be self supporting so it needs to cash flow but once that is reached the focus in my opinion should equity growth which increases net worth.

Many of my flipper customers are getting into new builds. 

Unless you have extensive time and experience managing Section 8 rentals, it is not advisable to self-manage them.Did they send you pictures of the holes in the floor?
