The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. - Lao TzuAfter joining BP last year and listening to so many outstanding podcast it's time for my journey to begin. My next actionable plan for the next 45 days is...

I would recommend unfinished Oak or Pine (if available, will be cheaper and takes stain well) so that you can stain to match the floor as best possible.

I still managed to save out a few thousand for investing and emergencies like the giant pine tree I have to remove for $2000 because it's cracking my foundation - but at least I can pay for the work. 

The different thing I have never seen discussed is its a pine or fir floor(pretty much the same thing).'

At the Conference Last Week Kevin Amolsch presented his perspective on HML (Google his name with PINE ).

The best way to describe them is that they are like miniature horse trailers about half as long with a trailer hitch at one end and wheels in and under the front.

@Peter Amico If I'm in your place  ill just refinance, get my money back, keeping what you have with positive cash flow, and continue in orlando, there is good deals all the time in Orlando, all the properties I bought this year are 13+ cap rate, I got 9 properties in less than one year. right now there is no single good multifamily in the area for sale unless you wiling to buy in pine hills or that kind, I'm full time looking lol, I almost know every single house in the market, the one percent rule is the easiest to find . you can even find 3% in pine hills but it's really not worth it. 

I also have a garage that sits under an apartment on a 3 unit property for storing items I buy for current rehabs, valuable salvaged materials like heart pine flooring, etc.

Nothing beat old hardwood pine construction.

Rant begin "I can buy a thousand homes in Pine Hills for $60k or less off MLS, quit telling me you got a killer deal."
