Once you get your first deal lended, then it will be a piece of cake moving forward!

That's when the deal turns out not to be a deal but  a money pit which you learn after you own it.If the fix turns out minor then I have additional equity and icing on the cake.

Everyone is is basically in a "let them eat cake" situation.

Can I have my cake and eat it too?

With the proper equipment (and a handheld glass cutter and a straightedge are not considered "proper equipment"), cutting the glass is a piece of cake.

I had never seen Black mold until then ( the stuff in the shower seems edible after that stuff) .

All in an effort to further my RE education, I'll get the coffee and coffee cake if thats your thing.

So could be icing on the cake for him.

I don't have any work experience in Real Estate but I have 6 years of Cake Decorating experience, so if I need to I will offer a cake in my negotiations :)  I am a new investor with big dreams to make real estate investing my full time career, I am stay home mom of a two year old boy and a undergraduate part-time student.

Appreciation is having cake and eating it too.
