Of me not fishing)Where I lost money and saved money I lost big time on being to much of a perfectionist, ( that’s just the way I am) I used better than builder grade on everything, doors had to open and close perfectly , better paint in a lot of places, redoing work over and over until it was up to my standard was the worst.And doing more than was most likely needed to sell.

@Michael Fish..Welcome To BP!

Agreed, it's amazing what a contractor skilled at fishing wire can do with minimal destruction.

Years ago someone said to me, "leave some water for the other fish in the sea". 

There are three lakes (Missouri River reservoirs) nearby, lot of hiking and biking trails, camping, fishing, boating, hunting, etc. 

There are always more fish in the sea, this is not the last deal.  

Given those choices, I would assume that the money you have in savings is earning 1% or less, and would most likely be the cheapest money to access to broaden your investment portfolio.

Good luck with your deals, just remember NY is a huge ocean with a lot of large fishes.

I enjoy weightlifting, bicycling and fishing....lol
