His motivation at that point is certain to be higher than it is now. thanks you have a point, I guess ill set back and wait until April

:)there has been a setback ,it turned out to be an Eagle!!!!

The markets where you tend to make the most money, have a lot of regulatory crap to deal with. 

Myself I have a building  background and possess journey level skill in almost all trades except maybe doing concrete work and I am also an architectural designer so I perfer properties that can be increased in value through forced appreciation and look for properties where the zoning, set back, and other requirements allow for adding square footage to a building but others perfer invest in turnkey properties already fully occupied whereas I like working with empty buildings. 

If they are not then it seems that it's not too big of a setback investment wise.

However there are set backs, especially if you're already at the top of the market.

With a normal mortgage, and Post Oct 2015's regulatory changes slowing things down (TRID), 11 days to keys in hand is my personal record.

Even a more modest debt like $50k will take any excess income that a young adult would put towards buying a home and put them 10-20 years behind previous generations, and that in itself will set back their accumulating wealth. this generation is well and truly f*cked.

Hello everyone, I have a couple properties that I am looking at and my main set back is that they’re old builds, around early 1900’s.

Make SURE you know everything about the zoning TODAY-- especially setbacks.
