Regardless, you're in the right spot and asking the right kinds of questions...if you have anything specific you want to dig deeper into, feel free to reach out directly.

So, let's dive in and discover why looking before you leap is a wise move in the world of real estate.Now, let's delve into why due diligence with your broker is crucial:1.

A very simple (effective, but not attractive) solution to the sump pump (in a situation where you don't have just a cascade of water coming in) -5gal bucket with the bottom mostly cut out (leave a bit of a lip)Automatic sump pump2 bags pea gravel1 bag sandPVC pipe to run out of the crawl space from the sump pumpDig a hole 8-10" larger in diameter than your bucket and about 8-10" deeper than the bucket.Fill the bottom 4" or so with sand, then the next 4-6" with gravel.Set the bucket on top of the gravel, and fill around the bucket with more gravel (Bucket should be empty but for maybe an inch or so of gravel on the lip holding it down)Set the sump pump in the bucket and run the pipe out of the crawl space.This setup will catch and pump an AMAZING amount of water.

Buy a small building with a friend WHOM YOU ALREADY KNOW and can trust and you can be a silent partner, in the town that you live.People who are starting out need to stay in the shallow end of the pool before they venture into deeper waters.

I decided to dive deeper into real estate.I'd love to connect with others here and get more involved with the local community. 

If so, that's a major red flag.There are tons of posts on private lenders, and most delve into how to suss out if they are real or not. 

But there has to be something much deeper for a crash to happen.Looking at today's mortgage delinquencies, it doesn't look too risky out there. 

I also like the deeper vanity in option 2.

So I'm assuming the quad I'm interested in is falling under a different category I do know that once you go to five units its considered commercial in a lot of areas. now I've got to rethink this so I'm going to go deeper in with the insurance policy about the coverage I have and the limits of insurance.

I also want to dive a little deeper into owner financing, and see if I can get a deal that way.Nothing beats time.
