How did it compare to just building the old fashioned way as far as price etc.?

What I will do is give you an illustrative story, and maybe you can bring your knowledge up a little.Big Apartments LLC - a manager managed LLC with two members.Member #1 is You (Patrick), the Manager (and also a Member), you have put $500 into the LLC and own 50 Membership Units (a 50% owner).Member #2 is your brother in-law (lets call him Richard Smith) he is not the manager (although he could be a co-manager but is not because that's the way you two want it).Richard has also put $500 into the LLC and own 50 Membership Units (a 50% owner).You two guys are 50/50 owners of Big Apartments LLC, evidenced by your Membership Certificates (which look a little like old fashioned stock certificates but are not stock shares).The company has $1,000 in the kitty and since Richard won at Poker last night he's flush with cash, $1,000.You and Richard agree that he can lend the LLC $1,000 (that's in addition to his already put in $500).Since this is only a loan it does not effect his ownership percentage of the company.

White would seem to go in the more cottagey old fashioned homes, while Black seems (to me) to be more modern.There are also different shades of SS available, like gray and bronze, depends how expensive you want to get....

Luckily, my region is one of those areas that is behind on fashion and the locals say although that hardwood-look is classy, carpet works. 

I would do either one of these things...1) House hack with an FHA or Conventional on a 2-4 unit property.2) Partner on a BRRR, flip, or larger multi3) Go the old fashion way and put 20% down4) Use a hard money loan or private financing to flip or refi and do a BRRR

Many colleges are talking about not coming back in the fall, or only coming back in a limited fashion.

Houses #3+ (I eventually built up to 20) happened in orderly fashion.. 

I have several buy and hold rental properties and feel I have a decent understanding of my liability exposure and the actions I can take to mitigate and minimize any risks involved in that fashion of real estate investing.

So I totally understand how to add value to a rundown property by doing the work myself -- it's good old-fashioned sweat equity (more properly termed "trading time for money.")What I don't understand is how it works to add value (at least profitably) by hiring it out.

HI,I have been signing leases & renewals, the old fashion way, by wet signature (Pen/Paper).I would like to know if there are any free E sign websites that I can use.?
