Hi everyone, I'm a freshman in high school and 14 years old about to turn 15 in a couple of months, I'm also very eager to learn a lot about real estate!

I am looking for your thoughts on bridging Grant and BP to get the best of both worlds when looking at scaling your business.Redgy

Now I am really hesitant to close this deal...Deal summaryLocation: Norcross, GAPurchase Price: $218kUsing conventional loan - 4.375%, 20% downpaymentmarket rent $1600-1650brand new (less than 4 years old) townhome, end unit, in a very favorable locationThis community/area has gone up $60k in the last 3 years and I thought there was some room for more growth given the market condition + desirable location. 15 year old houses are trading around the same price in the area, which gave me a little more confidence that this property could gain value in the next few years.

@Joseph Berhane  Welcome to the World of Investing. 

Do you have any credible evidence that your fantasy thoughts have any bearing in the real world???

Treat them like they are two years old and you do fine. 

I spent thousands on bull ish courses that promise you the world and come up empty.

I'm sure we've all seen them in our towns, large retail strip centers, the facades look old and dated, the center is 50% occupied at best.  

Then I just started looking up properties on auction websites that were in my hometown after I saw my old neighbors house had been sold for about 1/2 of the value of the land...This is when I realized that there were potential deals that I would have a better insight on because I was familiar with most of my hometown and where people want to live and do not want to live.

When I first purchase a property, if the existing water heater is at least 10 years old, I replace it because I don't know how much maintenance has been done to it by the previous owner plus I can then start over with a new one on my own maintenance schedule.
