Good contractors connect with good clients and they have margins and expenses that push them out of the "lowest bid" territory.

I've been learning all I can everyday, but this is all new territory for me.

When looking at any investment that veers hard off course and is pioneering new territory you have to assume that the amount of risk increases tenfold - therefore the potential return should compensate for that risk.

I have great credit and a great financial history with no dodgy areas - but I am heading into unchartered territory here (for me that is).

I’m not trying to stomp on your territory but I’d be interested in any advice you’d have to share.Thank you,Eddie

We had one 43-unit apartment and calculated we could have 14 vacancies before we would pass the break-even amount and be in negative territory.

Now you're got a great deal, even if this is three or four units.If its more than four units, you're in different territory for the refi, and it will be more complex than you're thinking.Frankly, I think you're being taken to the cleaners by a group of people who know each other much better than they're letting on.

Any time money moves between the buyer and the seller, and the lender doesn't know about it, you're at best in very shaky territory.

I am really wanting to move to another territory in another city and would like to get some opinions on how to handle this with my current employer.

I definitely made some mistakes over the past year, but that comes with the territory and I have learned some valuable lessons as a result.
