You can always build in a small extra fee for a realtor if its an off market property.

If you have a savings account earning less than 7.5%, no need to have a savings account when you have extra funds available to you in your heloc.

They’re built for heavy use and have faster drying times—usually 30–45 minutes—without needing major electrical changes.If you’re up for a bigger investment, adding extra stackable units in the garage could be a great long-term fix, though it’ll mean some electrical work and setting up proper ventilation.I’d probably go for the commercial upgrade in your current space first—it’s quicker and might solve the bottleneck right away.

One effective strategy to maximize unit potential is to explore opportunities for adding extra units, especially in C-Class properties.

Tell people what your doing and help other folks invest while you're making a nice commision check. 

Be that as it may, with this approach, you will have to provide some value for your folks even to consider this.

I wonder if Mitch was able to get his refi done before a NOD was filed and or late payments were put on the orginal sellers credit report.. this is the real risk to the seller if they value their fico score at all.. on some of this stuff the sellers credit is already trashed and they dont care.. but if folks buy from someone that does care holy cow when they get the NOD notice its right to the attorney..
