Mine is 2 months unless I let it earlier, which I always do -- so really one month. 

I studied geological engineering for my undergraduate degree, worked with Newmont Gold Corp for some time, got bored, went to the UK to study law, worked briefly in the field and got bored as well.

A very close friend of mine is funding some of my deals.  

They found me by purchasing some list of property ownership and using bulk contact communications to maximize their time while interrupting mine.

So a couple of personal friends of mine have gotten their real estate licenses and one of them even joined the same brokerage as me.

Mine has served me for 30 years low budget high appreciation Portland property.

I give mine $100 per house.

Had two other realtor's price it at about 460-465k right now. nearest comp (5 bed 3 bath, 2700-2800sf 3 car garage ranch) came in at 510k but had about a 200sqft front porch and .19 acres instead of .17 like mine. so since i have a 3 bed 2 bath, id finish the basement which DIY would cost no more than 15k if i finished 1000sqft of it to keep some for storage but to also add 2 bed and one bath. so if value now is at 465k and it would only get it to 490k, and i spent 15k to do it, that might mean a gain of 25k in valuie. worth it?

Great friends of mine who operate that business. 

A buddy of mine wants to build a custom cabin in the mountains outside San Diego and is going to abandon the project (on principle, he can afford it) because his pre build costs from the county/state are $110, 000.
