I am interested in meeting mortgage brokers, investors, and real-estate agents in the Austin area, as well as anyone who can connect my abilities as an engineer to a tech company in the area.I love learning new things, and not knowing how to do a thing has never stopped me from doing it.

I think the before vs after pictures really speak primarily to your experience and ability to execute a project so it can help lenders gain comfort with future projects and allow you demonstrate what level of detail you except out of your contractors.

Also if this property is on septic that also can throw a wrench into the ability to call a space "a bedroom" as septic systems are sized and permitted based on the bedrooms.

Or is that actual so you have the ability to add more to the bottom line? 

@Chris Ke With $200K for a down payment and the ability to invest full-time, consider starting with a 4-plex or multiple single-family homes (SFHs) within a 5-hour drive of Los Angeles in areas like San Bernardino or Riverside.

Do you really have the ability to purchase this deal. 2.

Getting to the point of why I am here - It seems I have the ability to open an HSA at any bank that offers them, then do a rollover from Optum for $20.

They will likely have the ability to generate them.Disclaimer: While I’m a licensed attorney, I’m not your attorney.

So I would continue to hold the property - but I would be sure not to miss the ability to exempt the gain - so be sure to sell within 5 years.  

Lates on a mortgage trade can impact your ability to get loans in the future.
