i wasnt a BPer 2 months ago when i was having yard estate sales to clear out all the junk the estate had left on the property but anyways, long story short, i held a couple yard sales.on the 2nd consecutive weekend a browser asked me if i had a permit and i explained how i had just closed on the property and the estate/sellers had left junk behind so i thought what better an oppotunity to see if one's mans trash is another's treasure and so was just holding weekend yard sales till most the stuff is gone and was told i still need a permit so i contacted BOE who said to register online for a temp reseller permit# and i did and then the online system flagged my SSN. i called BOE and they gave me the # to my local BOE field office where i consequently called in and was told to fax my SSN card so i did then they called to say the number field on my ssn card is blank (obviously it is not) so i asked them what do they want, me to expand the image in the fax so i did make an enlargement photocopy and faxed that then they called back to say theres a known problem with their fax machine that is cutting off enlarged images so i actually have to go in person to BOE and show them my SSN card. when i went into the BOE there was a long line (picture DMV!)

My lease, I dont think is any larger than what a lawyer might draw up for an apartment complex and only 8 pages because the print was enlarged along with an area for the applicant to initial next to each clause.

Downstairs: gutting and opening up the kitchen, adding a dishwasher, gutting and enlarging the main bathroom and gutting the 1/2 bath, enlarging the master bedroom closet, adding laminate floors and new paint.

We didn't plan to enlarge or family but ended adopting 5 special needs children as infants.

I'm one of the rare individuals on this forum that is not interested in enlarging my footprint and can see myself selling in a few years so my goal is to increase property value.

Appraiser will keep enlarging the circle until find enough data to prove or disprove value.Good Luck with this one.

As I continue my search, its becoming more apparent that I may need to enlarge my funnel by looking to additional areas.

It never starts with enlarging capital access, that doesn't bring "deals" it just brings purchases. 

We have a new roof, new AC, new top of the line Samsung stainless steel appliances, enlarged open kitchen, and renovated bathrooms.Our dock can bring $1600/month yacht rental (we have dual 50A/30A/20A metered marine electric and dual metered water), and I see house rentals in our area ranging from $3500-$5600/mo.We were originally planning to sell because we could not refinance since we plan to move--but after joining this group yesterday it seems that we might be able to instead get a loan as a rental property if the numbers work, and then use that cash to move and purchase our 2nd property (perhaps a duplex, triplex, quadplex).This is probably the most important deal decision of our lifetime because this is the one that launches us into this real-estate business--I am beyond grateful to this community for knowledgeable advice on our best course of action.
