As a freelancer, I am used to listening to clients needs, talking and negotiating prices.

I am using this tool to ballpark costs before I go and bring a GC there for a quote.Thanks – Rich

The contractor that I am using is my brother in law.

I am using the buy and hold strategy of investing, so cash flow has been my main concern.

Yes, I am using one of those forms with my RE agent.

My realtor I am using said he will get some estimates on commercial leasing per sq ft in the town tomorrow also.

My point is that unless you have extensive experience, huge pockets, and balls that hang to the floor, now is not the time to jump in there.I find it amusing that every little scamper downtown is broadcast across the community like downtown is dramatically metamorphising.

This time to create an exclusive purchase pool for my clients... and this is the exact approach I am using.

Also if you read my previous posts, you would have read, I am using a line of credit to purchase the home.

Of course I am using this as a stumbling block to get out on my own in investing.
