Kitchen cabinets were ash and I was able to get a cabinet guy to drill for european hinges and I used GF Java gel stain with a final coat of poly.

And, I have one more coming this week, in Alabama, selling to a European buyer, for $13k in profit.Bottom line, it's not easy, but it can be very rewarding.

Its rental market is also robust, owing to its diverse economy and significant military presence.Lakeland: Lakeland is emerging as a hotspot, especially with giants like Amazon and other major companies setting up shop here.

Kitchen looked good though And hallway between kitchen and den, there was some work done at some point...So first Red Flags were a giant leak in the laundry room ceiling causing the drywall to be torn down, water is not turned on, so plumbing might need to be entirely redone (quickcrete in the plumbing).

You didn't state if either of these were your primary home, but if one is....then a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) for that property.Just in case, a LOC or HELOC acts as a giant credit card. 

When you inevitably get a call because they saw a GIANT spider at 2am and YOU have to come fix it.

Today we came home and there was a giant gaping hole in the floor that my dog almost fell through.

I personally feel like doing that first deal is a GIANT milestone!

Leveraging the money I could easily make returns higher than the delta but there are also giant downfalls to the asset based loans like high fees, prepayment penalties, my first born child, etc, etc.

Beyond the huge issue of taking a giant leap of faith with a TK partner, the more I learn about it the less I like it.
