I have been able to form more QUALITY relationships in ten minutes in an event as compared to ten hours cold calling people on the phone. 

My purchase prior to this one was a distressed property from an older widow who was relieved to sell as she could not afford to fix and sell or rent. 

I am comparing this to NJ prices. 

I recommend requiring the property to be empty at least one week prior to closing, preferably two in case a tenant delays.

Our projected long-term growth is strong and more people are moving here every day, but houses are still relatively affordable when compared to the coasts, or even Denver.

I was wondering if anyone who has done this can tell me if after comparing price per sqft of the building aspect of the project only (cost of land, environmental remediation, and demo excluded) they have found modulars to be a more cost effective way to go rather than stick built.

Good thing about the LOC is that you don’t pay interest unless you use it, so if you have a good deal that has higher rate if return compared to your LOC, it would make sense to use the cash. 

ETRADE wire fees were much better ($0 incoming, $25 outgoing) compared to Wells Fargo ($15 incoming, $30 outgoing) and went out same day instead of 2 days later.Last Friday, I talked to my contractor and there was an issue with the roof.

Lenders will have varying rules on what gets included in that calculation prior to those figures showing up on your tax returns for two years. 

Also, what was the quality of the on base housing compared to off base.As far as the destinations you mentioned, I know there are definitely opportunities in Oceanside, CA near Camp Pendleton and Desert Hot Springs and Cathedral City near 29 Palms.
