$500,000 @ 6% = $30,000 in so called "earned" real estate commission to have a realtor list a property in the MLS and another realtor reading off the same Menu, bring a buyer and extract that much in Tax Free Home Equity?     

You have to consistently follow up in a meaningful way and you will get deals.

As soon as you have your design info, go back to the fire marshal with your building plan before you start working on it and make sure you get at least his verbal approval.You buy investment property in a community like East Pittsburgh, you should be looking to build a meaningful personal relationship with the fire marshal and all the borough officials you can find to shake hands with, and it's going to take time.

Value extracted via a refi can compensate for a lot of cash flow. 

I love the concept, but honestly until recently I don't think I really connected with it in any kind of true meaningful way. 

If you seek the property that Dan permit full extract of investment, these are hard to find.  

It is a meaningful and rewarding service but a challenging one initially.

I DO like the option of having both – become a colleague with those you've had a meaningful personal connection with (Like a Facebook friend), but follow whoever you want with no commitment for the mere reason you like what they post (Like an Instagram follow). 

A good friend of mine is great a memorization and learning definitions, but doesn't do so well at extracting lessons, themes and nuance so he failed multiple times after studying online.

Analyzing both operating and capital is key and determine if the unit has a rate at normal for market, higher or lower.Q2 - I would inquire about actual cost paid for the unit, how was it financied at time of purchase  and the financing terms(can be used to extract a Cap Rate).
