The GC and the sub ended up sharing in the cost mostly (I think) because it was better than the finger pointing game that had already started, and realistically the attorney's were the only ones about to win...

Pretty cool.You probably won't find this type of home in Florida or anywhere where the water table is high.

For example I know many who are now just lending because they are getting 10-12% short term which is far better than any cap rate on real estate. you do not have the equity upside as you do real estate but its a way to play the short game to see what happens over the next 12-24 months and decide when you want to buy.

It's definitely easier to find a cash flowing property in Midwest but I am of the opinion that cashflow in real estate keeps you in the game but appreciation is where you build wealth.

Do you have a particular system or software that’s been a game-changer for you?

The brother and his son had been living in the house, free of charge, for years, and were gaming the system.

Even if I have to lower the rate by $200 to find the right tenant, I am still ahead of the game by a C-note by year's end.Just my 2 cents, I hope you have already found a tenant for your home by the time this post drops!  

I am wondering what it takes to deliver a higher customer experience, equivalent to receiving a warm wash towel at a restaurant table before you eat. 

I thought it was interesting that I never even met with my banker until we got to the closing table.

I have invested in real estate casually in the last several years, and am looking to step up my game by learning from those willing to help, and succeeding with real estate.
