People dont care how old you are, when you throw the green down on the table for them, they know you are not kidding.

Then they would send guys around to weed-eat (trim) around signs and such, and they never even touched my sign.

Agreed... practice with family funds first and limit how much you borrow from the HML so the points and interest don't eat you up..

I'm pretty green, but I don't think the numbers were there. 1000 sq ft, 3 tiny bedrooms, 1bath and some significant rehab.

In my future blogs I will relate the entire story and his info as well as the successes, failures and opportunities of our team.I am very new to the potential of real estate but will be taking off the Army 'green' in about a year and am preparing myself for yet another great adventure.

It can eat up your equity REALLY fast on a low value property.Otherwise I'd look at the refi just like any other rental property valuation.

We've already lost a couple active members, but I'd bet he's still on the green side. :)

Just make sure that neither account is small enough that bank charges eat them alive.
