One idea is to make your next property your new primary residence that way, you could potentially get a better interest rate and keep your current home as a rental.Also, a big advantage of real estate is its tax efficiency.

There is roof damage, probable damage to the trusses, and the water line busted.

I will post my story on here... it resulted in a more than 8000 loss... and water bills which were not paid, and which Northpoint was supposed to assist in transfering to tenant's name. 

Then you can likely complete the renovations quickly, efficiently and on budget.

Building a scalable real estate business requires developing a foundation that can grow efficiently without exponentially increasing operational costs.

I would say this was the least organized BPCon (no cevent App, poor email distribution, my workshop that was $300 had about 20% attendance rate) I have been to, with the worse room problems (both ac and hot water problems in my room), and the hurricane issue (they cancelled the meal but many of the restaurants required reservations that we did not make because we were expecting the meal), and in my opinion worse keynote speakers even when one was a repeat (I like David Greene keynotes, but …), I enjoyed this BPCon more than the others I attended. 

They have a ton of equity >$100K, <3%, but older home in need of roof, A/C, and water heater in next 5-10 years.

The initial cost can be high, but no maintenance or water costs afterward.Good luck with your project! 

. :) Now, I also provide a very unique space, being that I'm 2 blocks to the lake and have water views from my apartment.

With that being said, most of the people in my immediate network who are in the construction business say the most valuable skill is just being able to run a team and a job efficiently and if they could start over they would go the GC route.
