Something like Simplisafe would work out well here because you could keep it on a shelf and just put it in when someone asked (and charge accordingly).

My intention has been to live here and then rent it out when I am ready for a more permanent home, as it is in an area with high demand (including a pool and workout facility). 

We did a lot of work out at Camp Pendleton back in the day when I was in construction.

Maybe you get him to refund the money or get some work out of it.

I'm looking for a patient ally to help me invest in a multi-family property.I'm open to commercial-level properties and have an intermediate understanding of the dynamics of commercial vs. residential.I'd like to have a Skype conversation with a more experienced investor who is willing to help me work out some kinks in my plans and shed some light on my market.For those who would prefer to reply here, I'll go ahead and state my goals:GOALS:1.

Here is what I know so far:- Hard Money lenders are short term, 12-18months- Rates can be 12%-15% in my area because they want to create immediacy behind them getting paid back- I'm not familiar with other fee's and expenses with a lender that you mentioned- Have multiple exit-strategies if things don't work out.

In some instances it will happen, but not very often do the numbers work out for development purposes.

My Mom doesn't want the house anymore and told me that i can take it and work out a way to pay off the mortgage. 

They just don't seem to work out very often.

That being said, guys get hired all the time who have bad histories and some work out and some don't.
