I got a 2013 Toyota Corolla for $17k, so unfortunately, even if I trade it in I still have about $6-9k in negative equity on the car that I’ll still owe.

Hello, personally, if it was me in your situation, I would not trade the low interest rates you currently have by cashing out the relatively smaller equity you have in your current properties for a much higher interest rate.

Plus if you bought with all cash from the proceeds of the sale you would be trading down in asset value quite a bit.Depending on the refi rate you could consider keeping this and refinancing it to pull some cash out which you could use as a down payment on another property.Just some thoughts, hope they help the issue with the refi is those rates at the new loan if i do a 75% LTV will almost overcome the cash flow its producing now and basically get to a break even point.

I'm curious if these new tech can somehow help me streamline certain tasks or reduce dependency on scarce trades in your experience.Appreciate any additional thoughts I looked at 3d printing those machines are 800k plus.. and if you watch the video you need very large lots as you have to bring in truck loads of sand etc.. so thats not really going to work in an urban environment like Charleston SC were I have built 35 plus homes in the downtown core on lots that are from 12' wide to max of about 30' and roadways that are only 20' wide and have houses and cars on every lot expect the infill..

All three generate leads from insurance claim residents and traveling professionals (medical and the trades).One of the advantages of FF has been that it's forced us to have systems in place to create leases, accept security deposits without co-mingling and provide "live" customer service. 

If you hire a handyman in the bay area you will probably pay $35-50/hr depending on skill level and the trade involved.This work was done in Richmond, CA. 

Thank you in advanceDepending on tree type might be able to trade or sell for the workCost for all utilities and street will vary depending on the type of road you will have inverted or crowned. - how many catch basins you will need, hydrants   - etc.Very important you must utilize both sides of the road to maximize your effective cost for the road and utilities when building.

Hi @Paul Rook, I don't have any experience with the company you mentioned but a handy resource for homeowners to check ANY contractor or trades person is lni.wa.gov.

Mid-term rentals can definitely be a bit of a trade-off.
