Hi, I’m trying to educate myself on real estate investing (I know that’s a broad statement). My wife and I have a duplex near Philadelphia that we occupy part of and I would like to get more rental properties (and hop...

We are currently building a spec home in Mequon in the 600k range and I would have loved to build at a sub 500k or sub 400k price point, but the between the cost of land, labor and materials it turnes out to be impossible.

we have made advanced payment for material and other stuff. how should we approach about getting that money back from him?

. 🙏🏻 But wow, can I just say that your story, is #goals material.

In other words what building type uses the least amount of material, yet still gets high $ per sq. ft?

It needs a lot of work and if I can put some of the materials on the card at no interest I won't have to worry about running out of money before completion.

A few stats on the home which we plan to flip.Purchased for $75k cashRehab estimate is $50kARV is $180 - $200Rehab time is estimated at 60 days (my business partner, whom I formed a company with, owns his own construction company and has his own crew so the cost will only be time and material with no markup)Since the sheetrock is removed I will seek a mold remediation certificate for the buyerAnyways there are many more details than I listed above but that's the short version!!

If your goal is to become an investor, a real estate license will not get you there, nor will the material that you learn for licensing in any way teach you about investing.

Tenant shall use felt pads, rugs or similar scratch prevention materials under all furniture items or other items placed upon any hard surface flooring in the Premises.

Either call your landlord and voice your concerns and see if they would address the issue or simply go to your local hardware store ( Lowe’s or Home Depot) and get a small piece of thin plywood or some other material to place over the hole that would still allow the lines to come through.
