@Dan Barli Hi Dan, thanks for the reply.

Assuming you have a trustworthy guy, maybe you don't save a ton of money with a fixed cost route, but at least you know exactly what you're committing to - barring some catastrophic find with the plumbing - when you start the job.

@Dan Barli thats a great suggestion, thanks I will try that know.

Thank you @Dan Barli I thought about that but I don't want to pay to refinance. 

@Dan Barli would you mind sharing details as well?

And appreciate all the links, @Dan Barli!

I know an agent that started and had a friend that wanted to sell his bar.

Purchase price: $41,000 Cash invested: $66,000 Coastal Bungalow with laminate floors throughout, 3BR/1BA with LR, FR, Clean Kitchen with breakfast bar, (2) brick fireplaces.

Plus, people like being close to the urban core - and to be able to walk to shops, restaurants, bars, etc - so I would recommend being close to walkable areas like Downtown Tacoma or different business districts in the area that offer the walkable vibe.
