Work very hard not to become a Real Estate Expert or you will find it extremely difficult to scale your business (you want to avoid creating a job).As a sidenote right now is a GREAT time of year to get started, the holidays are only "slow" for the wholesalers who stop marketing during this time of year.Whatever you do, try to focus on revenue activities instead of  complicated CRM's, cool looking business cards and setting up a LLC or S corp.You are about to go on a Great Adventure!

Anyway we settled on a price of 35k which is excellent as that price is even under the SEV of $37 ($79,000) so so far I'm winning!

If I was to refinance and pull out most but not all of my equity, I would be able to eliminate (or more like consolidate) my car and credit card debt and still should have enough to pay back into the house to get rid of the mortgage insurance I'm currently paying.

Home Depot takes my Lowes 10 percent off coupons and I purchase reduced gift cards for both of these stores.Gail
