I mainly use Lowes & Home Depot as well, but if I see deals at others places, I'm not afraid to save some money.  

Love it mainly because they have an amazing app for tenants (which actually seems a bit more complete than the landlord app so far) that even has features for tenants to use with roommates.

In this current market, where low inventory and tight supply, rising prices might be good to build.Terry

Main focus at this point is to soak in as much as I can on the topic of RE investing, specifically multi family while at the same time connecting with as many investors as possible. 

d) related to building cost and lack of land is supply and demand: vacancies are very low. 

After working the main job and doing a lot of side hustling, I realized that while I am working and making money my life is passing by.

The main reason we will be looking to refinance is to utilize an FHA loan again on our next property, and I know you can't have more than one FHA loan at a time.

But I agree with you, all else being equal (condition/location), the supply and demand looks to be way out of whack there.

To clarify, Going forward, the HELCO interest is NOT deductible after 2018 unless you use the fund to substantially improve your main or second principle home.
