First thought:  Examine total diversification.Having a lot of equity/wealth tied up in a single asset can be a risk.

Actually taking action will calm your nerves and your sense of overwhelm, because it will accelerate the learning process, which will make you more confident.  

This may be a ridiculous question - I have been using the BP calculators as I examine my options in the Philadelphia area.I will be drawing my full purchase price and repair costs from a personal line of credit and intend to refinance once I get a renter in the space.  

Tenant stipulates, represents and warrants that Tenant has examined the Premises, and that they are at the time of this Lease in good order, repair, and in a safe, clean and tenant able condition MAINTENANCE, REPAIR, AND RULES.

Here are the fees: Survey Fee $135 Title - Abstract $750 Title - Closing Fee $300 Title - E-Recording Fee $15 Title - Examination Fee $175 Title - Federal Court Check $50 Title - Final Title Report $120 Title - Lender's Title Insurance $617 Title - Title Services Fee $150 Title - Uniform Code Cert $50Total: $2,362!!!

Yet another issue I need to examine closer and I think can be block by block.

If you and the property qualify, and if you can wait as the lenders micro examine every minute and seemingly irrelevant piece of information asking for explanations of anything and everything in your life, then conventional loans will be a lower cost factor in your investment than private loans.

If you don't have a current contractor, I would drive around and identify current rehab projects while introducing yourself to the contractor/handy man and examine their work in process.

I am scheduled to take the National and State exam in June.

Since I'm a newbie myself I can't tell you how much better of a deal you'd be able to get outside of Roofstock compared to inside of it, but definitely worth examining the price differences.
