Good to hear from someone local to the Milwaukee area the reality on the ground.

She was also the “boots on the ground” person which allowed me to work remotely and be with my baby.

there is a reason so few flippers do ground up or garage conversion ADU additions.  

However, unless the cost of the new borrowing is sufficiently lower than the debt against which the funds are being applied, there is little to be gained and ground could easily be lost.   

Also have you been able to see the property in person or are you relying on an agent to be your eyes and ears on the ground?

I am grateful we attended the rich dad seminar because it is what got the ball rolling for us for a minimal cost.  

I’m Julian, been in the game a few years now, grounded in Omaha but I’ve ended up helping investors find their footing in places like San Antonio, Austin, and Phoenix too.

If so, that's your prime market to start in because you have a competitive advantage of boots on the ground you trust of personal knowledge.If I were you, and new, I would not do fixers, I would buy turnkey or rent-ready properties or you are going to have to trust a whole lot more people to do what you want to be done.

HI we are Canadians investing in the us we  invest in Detroit and toledo where we have great teams on the ground including trusted property managers who take great care of our properties.

I suppose I am grateful that there even was money to leave in the deal and that I have flexibility on what my next step is.
