I am leaning towards "refreshing" all 3 bathrooms (2 full and 1 half) and then the flooring in the kitchen has some water damage from an improperly installed french door (not by me. was done by the previous owner).

To know that you still love what you do even when everything (temporarily) feels like it is falling apart is refreshing and I hope I feel the same way 10 years from now once I have established myself.

I'm a newb here :DI'd like to buy my next primary residence using a VA loan and use a bridge loan at the same time to refresh my current property before selling it.

It is refreshing to read a story that isn't simple success story. 

Constantly refreshed....Makes it so easy....

At some point we will need to sell all or part of the loans to refresh our capital but we have not reached that point yet.

One thing that I love about this site is how positive everyone is...its very refreshing!

The BP site kept timing out and giving me an error when I tried to post, so I hit Refresh, not knowing that the post apparently went through even though I was getting an error.

Just wanted to refresh this thread - I have heard some lenders are increasing their minimum loan size and treating each property as its own entity - therefore houses in cheaper areas are more challenging to get a quote at all bc it is not worth their time.
