I went from flipping contracts on houses from 2007 to 2011; to dealing almost exclusively in land from 2014 up until now.

While this means accessing the wall cavities to install insulation, which often necessitates removal of the old lath-n-plaster, we do make efforts to preserve the mouldings and trim as it is integral to the ambiance of the house - tenants looking for flats in Victorian or Second Empire buildings are expecting the ornate.We also try to strike a balance between the compartmentalised layout of these old buildings and today's trend/desire for "open concept".

For instance, Inland Empire, find all that have done a deal like that in the past 5 years, then shoot it out to them on an email blast!

The banks I work with right now are being increasingly cautious of cash out refis without demonstrating the additional money you've put into the deal.That being said, cash out refis on commercial properties are how I've built my empire. 

With the news received today, I’m ready to get out of the transportation industry and into the real estate empire. 

I live in the Inland Empire Bloomington city to be exact is there any Real Estate meet ups near me ?

@Michael Cronk you have 2 options find a lower class property that costs less or look farther inland. more in the center of the state.

@David Cozzi, You are spot on - the coaching space is crowded and confusing...and plenty of "gurus" who are building a coaching empire vs. a real estate empire.

There are also a handful of Florida lenders specializing in land acquisition financing. 

Sadly, there's no product on the market that is simply a great Income/Expense ledger the way Quicken originally was, they all want to build a money management empire from you.
