I am a dentist in North West IL.

Double or triple your budget unfortunately and that is because based on my experience some of the materials are substandard that the project manager would have to upgrade them for safety reasons (like rebar and cement quality).

Although this is not a huge home run by any means, I would be interested in getting this property if I could get the dentist to sign a long term lease at market rate while it is under contract and before I close on it.However, I am concerned that if I approach the dentist with this new lease that he may just go to the owner and work out a higher rate and cut me out of it.

The property is an old farmhouse the seller has completely rehabbed it himself (gutted & added new spray insulation, new electric, all new plumbing, fresh sheet rock & paint, all new windows (cheaper Andersons double pane), brand new fiber-cement siding, 13 yr old shingles, appliances approx 5 yrs old (beautiful stainless in lower unit).

If I were to advertise my vacant land, I would do that ground work for them (but its time consuming) Call the utilities and ask how much each one costs to connect, then get estimates to put a gravel road/ asphalt road/ cement road.  

Well, I feel pretty good about rebuffing those attempts and this has further cemented why we'll be sticking with a strict policy going forward.I reached out to them via their support chat on Monday of this week to ask where my March cancellations payment was because they said they would send them monthly and today is already the end of April.

I'm a dentist looking to get into buy, improve, and hold real estate involving single/multi family homes. 

Hello I am sure this has been asked and answered but each new year brings new products and therefore different considerations on an old question.I am renovating the lower level of my house to feature an in-law suiteit is a ground floor apartment with adequate runoff so flooding is not a big concernThe problem i am having is coming up with the best flooring choice which will give me all my wants.ultimately the place is a one bedroom apt where the living room and kitchen will share the same 14.5x14.5 spacesmall yes but the bedroom is 9.5x21 so it makes up for the crampiness of the living roomkitchenI would like the whole place to feature the same flooring which is why I am leaning to vinyl plank but the good stuff which is pretty pricey. but it will allow me to cover the kitchen and bath area along with all the other spaces foyer, bedroom. laundry and living room. laminate will allow me to do the place much cheaper as I can find phenomenal deals on laminate, but I would need to go with tile in the bathroom at least which is not a deal breaker it just makes the place lose that cohesive look.porcelain tile is about the same cost and more labor intensive but I only have about 600 sqft to coverThe sub floor is cement. so i will have to factor in underlayment for my laminate.just wondering what some of you would do if you were in this same scenario and whyI know only I can ultimately make the best decision for me but it would be helpful to hear others thoughts and experiences.

Double wides never had wheels and are on cement block foundations so can be argued they are manufactured homes, not mentoined in Dodd Frank like mobile homes are (specificaly called out as out lawed for owners to finance just like Builders can no longer finance their spec homes) so we can do 3 financings per year per person using a Licensed Mortgage Originator and qualifying to 43% DTI etc all mentioned in Dodd Frank.
