Hi John,It's a matter of opportunity cost.Yes capital is more expensive right now, but based off cyclical and long term data, asset prices begin to rise rapidly as money becomes cheaper.

Explore my personal favorites, Set For Life by Scott Trench or The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey, for invaluable financial insights.3.

I am wondering if there are alternatives that I can explore myself without incurring that expense.Your input will be greatly appreciated.

The breakdown of the economy and the next ten years was fantastic, with graphs, charts, and data for the nerds like me.

That 40k class would not teach you to put nail to the drywall.In my actual job i am so very busy writing code for DATA CENTER like Amazon or Google data center, so I do NOT have time nor knowledge to put a nail in the drywall, but i have TRUSTED friend that can put the nail in the drywall.There are just so many RESOURCES here in BIGGERPOCKETS where one do not need to go to any school but can learn from them or they can redirect to the right people.As for me , my life in real estate context has DRAMATICALLY IMPROVED when I CONVERTED my business relationship into much PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP to the contractor.In flipping business, the contractor, the subcon , is like the Prophet, okay, they have to be listened and being served.

I’m  sure there are outliers, the data just doesn’t support it from what I’m seeing.  

I'm guessing you've been exploring conventional financing which is why you're finding a cash out refi difficult with the property being in an LLC.

I’m particularly interested in exploring creative financing options that can help make this dream a reality.

I will definitely be exploring this great website and checking out the books you recommended as well.

Additionally, explore options for buying the same materials at stores like Home Depot or other retailers.
