One of the attractive things about real estate is the ability to put your own time/energy into it to increase dividends.

I would also capitalize the first letter of each word in the bullet point list.  

I was laid off from my energy sector job a few weeks ago and have decided to devote full time to this venture that has been on my heart and mind for as long as I can remember. 

The entire world of commercial financing is built around bullet loans and balloon payments.

The only bullet point I have for you is this: If it's ever had a certificate of occupancy AND there is anything remaining from the old home (like a chimney or an old foundation...), we can call it a "renovation" and you can avoid the hard money / construction / commercial financing. 

I guess inflation is a possibility with the fed funds rate close to 0 and the fed not having many "bullets" left to fight deflation if it occurs, but that's not really something that keeps me up at night.  

I do have an agent that I recommend for her high level of energy and good communications skills, let me know if you would like her contact information.

I have primarily focused my energy on finding flips.

I have a lot of energy and real estate investing is something that I am truly passionate about!
