A lot of consumers think that, and it's not unheard of for a lender to repeat something incorrect that a consumer said (as bass ackwards as that is).

Neither of those sites impact your credit score because they do a soft pull on your credit.Other than that, don't open up too many credit cards at once (maybe 2 cards total), because too much at once impacts your score in a few ways (hard inquiries, new trade lines, and age of credit history).Last, pay your bills on time...late payments really negatively impact your score.

It is soft and porous, unlike the porcelain, and requires being sealed periodically, which your tenants will not do.

Soft buns (sorry), etc.Watch your marginsBuy at the best wholesale prices.Give outstanding customer serviceDon't just look like your average vendor.  

I know, I'm too soft-hearted for this business, but I'm becoming less so, trust me.  

I'm wondering if soft close cabinet/drawers vs normal make a big difference in the resale value.

You need to reverse engineer the selling price back down to land acquisition costs you have in it and hard and soft costs.You will have a certain price all in for a cap rate and then your resell will be a lower asking cap rate an your gross profit will be the difference.I am more on the transacting side and not the building side.

That's a soft  pull and does not count against your score(s).Yes - the SEC requires that you already have an established relationship before engaging in borrowing from someone.

I wasn't 100% on the ARV, I only looked at comps in the sub zone with soft ranging from 1000 - 2000 sqft, 3/2s.

I'd like to go a step up from the chipboard and use something with plywood boxes and soft close drawers if it doesn't blow my budget.
