Seems to me that I need to concern myself more with extracting as much value as possible out of the first few properties and not comfort.

@Karl McGarvey This is a bit off-topic but just feel it's my responsibility to make aware to a customer of Chase that they are the number 1 (in the entire world) funder of fossil fuel extraction.

It is truly the only way to generate returns meaningful enough to change your life with as little as a few thousand dollars down.If you are really short on cash you can ask the seller to cover the UFMIP and/or closing costs.

@Greg Dickerson - a couple more meaningful insights:- this home builder/GP has never built a home in the US before- the homes being built are prefabricated, so most of the "manufacturing" is happening off-site.

You'll be at least a year re-letting and any cash would be a lot more valuable now vs paying lawyers to extract it.

I am not necessarily asking if this one deal in particular is any good (especially since I am not going to be including enough details about the property or my situation to allow for any meaningful deal analysis to occur).Instead I am asking for advice on how I am looking at my numbers. 

It's a nicellitt le scam so bidf*rassets can charge $35 and tempt you to bid on whatever is left of the dredges--- with their enticing "automatic extension" type bidding system to extract every dollar.

It’s much more important to have something meaningful and worthwhile in your life that you enjoy doing every day.

It's having two conflicting high touch businesses, with one that took 10 years of school, residency, and debt for the price of admission...and the other that takes many years to achieve meaningful scale (some of us never get there). 

Until more is known on either of those fronts, meaningful movements in bond yields (and mortgage rates) appear unlikely.
