Good time to buy while everybody else is distracted with their shopping lists and turkey dinners.

I'll come back with some numbers in a little bit but it is time for dinner with the family.

Unless the tenant is having a dinner party that night you can go ahead and do your thing.

@Steven OcampoVery commendable looking to get started, I read all the other comments so I’ll just leave mine here: getting Family & Friends money on your first deal is 1-risky because you’re putting folks money on the line you’ll have to eat Thanksgiving dinner with if it doesn’t go well, 2- as an admittedly small time Hard Money Lender myself I wouldn’t see that $50k family money as true equity from you, especially with 0 flips under your belt.

It isn't the best way to do it, but in my opinion it is a good way for you to learn researching materials, and scopes of work.Also, this time offer to buy him lunch/dinner if he agrees to let you do this!

Another Investor said you can tell a lot about a man by meeting his wife so I said: "great let's have the wives and us all go out for dinner".

Seems to be real industry professionals, with a reasonable price tag (albeit more than I have ever spent on RE education before, I'm used to buying books, or dinners for people I want to talk with instead of courses)So, do you think the above linked is worth the cost? 

You know that your dinner will always cost more at a restaurant but you go because they cook it for you, serve it to you and clean up afterwords.The question is what are you looking for in your life right now?

My mother can have lunch or dinner with her aunt, which is in a dining room. 

I have owned 5 SHF rental properties here in Texas and I don't think made enough money to buy a steak dinner on rent.
