@Frank HinckI’m trying to understand the cost of fees, interest, points, as well as holding cost associated to the deal.

Hi Troy,It depends on each deal.

Find a market, find motivated sellers, Hire cold callers and find deals!!!!!

Is it crazy to think I can better my cashflow situation if I reallocate the equity to a new deal?

Every area has deals.

Exactly if its a hot deal cash just means you beat out the next guy who needs financing does not mean deep discount .. at least in markets were RE is sought after.

I would also add, a contractor that you can buy materials for and they know how to put them in with little to know direction (reduces the management time of the project).

.- Just ask any investor doing deals prior to 2008 Real Estate Crash!

Direction Cracks that run diagonally or horizontallyCracks that run at a 45-degree angleOther signs Cracks that appear suddenlyMultiple cracks, especially if clustered togetherCracks that widen over timeDoors and windows that don't close properlySagging ceilings or leaning wallsSigns of water leakage  -------------------------------------Just annoying stuff...fun, huh?

But these issues have just been really discouraging to deal with.
