Thank you sir, ive considered trying to get hvac certified this summer too so i can do that aswell, i have no desire to learn electrical however as ive been shocked one too many times and dont care to get shocked again, but i agree its a shrinking industry which is good for us younger guys , my only concern is rising interest rates ruining my plans before they even get started

By documenting to your contractor in clear, sharp detail your desires, they will be able to make field decisions on the fly without disrupting progress.

@Brandi Davis,It depends.C-Corp is the least desirable due to double taxation of income.

Take that mortgage capital and use it to re-balance to the desired stock/bond allocation.  

Though there are legitimate concerns that this complex will push gentrification, I think it will add to the vibrancy of the Hilltop neighborhood.As a new investor, I'm not sure if the addition of this complex will push up rents in the area by increasing average rents and desirability, or depress them because it is adding a significant number of new units, thus decreasing the demand on other units.  

Maybe being by the airport might be tough for short term rentals, as far as being a desirable location for visitors.  

Both markets are highly desireable, but the Whidbey market will see less appreciation.

Or if you feel so inclined, you could pursue a strategy like direct mail marketing, or working with a wholesaler.If the demand for your most desirable neighborhoods is too high, are there other areas of the city that offer similar features?

It is a pretty desirable area compared to other areas in West Philly. 

This gets complicated, as there's a lot of moving parts to keep track of now.Every time you add another person into the daisy-chain the final price to the end buyer goes up, making the deal less desirable to that end buyer.
