I simply wanted to know if that is compliant with CA's RE bureau, for future reference.Last message (txt) was from listing broker/dual agent that that Escrow was opened, and so I dropped off the 10K check to the Escrow company indicated in CAR form's Joint Escrow Instructions, which shares same exact address as Listing Broker, just a different suite letter, ie B in of A, and haven't heard back from dual agent since, but assume once contract is executed, brokers move onto their next deals and become 'scarce'.Anyways I had asked for 4wks close then 3wks close but broker kept 2wks close on the offer as its cash so let's see if we actually do close on their preferred timeframe of 2wks which would be 2nd week of Nov; there are NO contingencies other than Title clearing so I see no reason why the heck not, yet remains to be seen!

Something to base my question off of: I work 60+ hours a week in construction and trying to grow that so my personal time is limited.

I applied for a Cash Out Refinance with the bank that holds my mortgage.In an effort to actually enjoy my life and spend time with my 1 year old son as he grows up, I left my job at a Fortune 100 company to own a business where I make very similar money working about 6-8 hours/week instead of 60-80.The next step IS real estate investing.

The people they subleased it to was supposed to be there for a few weeks until the original leasers were ready to move in.

If the units are in great shape, and can be immediately re-rented, I would factor in a 6-8% (3-4 weeks/yr) vacancy.  

I've read Set for Life, and I listen to the podcast every week.

It took about 3 weeks to get it rented out.

Yes, @Andy Pate, the meetup in Melbourne occurs every other week, Monday’s 6 to 8, at the meeting room at Lucky’s Market.

Well, a week before I'm expected to sign, I get a call from my lender and was told they couldn't do the refi without me bringing cash to close...

Need to make a decision this week & I'm leaning towards the mini split.
