You may want to make an introduction between your CPA to those 2 colleagues.The CPA can go over their services and pricing to your colleagues.I partner with many people on real estate deals - It never gets to a discussion on whether they do their own tax return or hire a professional.If a partner mentions he will provide capital - does he provide the capital on a timely manner.If a partner mentions he will find deals - does he find many deals and provide an analysisIf a partner mentions he will manage a property - does he manage the property well(find tenants, collect rent, communicate with contractors, etc)

You don't need to know everything to get started; you need a foundation to build on, and the rest will come through experience and then refining your education.You can build a basic understanding of investing in 3-6 months.

We don't allow any "deal-making" in the forums, which includes advertising your services or properties, looking for partners, etc.

I love San Antonio, I am lucky enough to visit there when I was in the military service. 

It may or may not show on a credit report, depends on the servicing and you should have the loan serviced.Failure to include the debt on a future loan application is mortgage fraud, wanna go to jail?

If you are the nicest 4/2 out there in the market and all the rest have not been remodeled in say 15 years, and your property was remodeled a month ago then the price on your property will be easily justified at a higher price on the listing side. 

Let me know if I can be of service.  

Now that is service!

If it is with HUD, did they foreclose or is HUD servicing the loan? 

@Guillermo PerezPositives:- Equity Built: You now have $70K in equity, which is a solid result for your first deal.Cash Flow Potential: If the property rents well and covers your debt service while providing some cash flow, that’s a win.- Experience: You’ve successfully navigated a purchase, rehab, and refinance, which are the core components of BRRRR.Considerations: - Budget Overrun: Being $27K over budget highlights the importance of tighter cost estimates and contingencies.
