@Catherine Ding  The additional costs of a smoker are the purchase of the ozone generator, and the additional paint prep with wall washing, and a high quality primer coat.

Account ClosedIts a good point about the yardsAlot of pro framers I know who do high volume use 84 Lumber and smaller regional type yards not the Menards etc.   

I don't really like that ROI as high yield savings accounts almost pay 5% these days, surely you could do better than 6.75%  

In this cas you own but it's fraud, orange jumpsuit not so flattering.For a "win win" in a distressed property the seller has to get a big sales price or high interest rate for taking the risk.

Makes me think more about it. 400k does seem high when you put it like that.

For me, who is on hte podcast has ZERO impact on my business and the benefits of a paid subscription for BP assist me in growing my business - and I make these decisions based on the business and not on emotions or my feelings. 

at 7.5% interest I would suspect 11% is high unless you are an excellent manager of class C properties.

I just listed a 3br house for rent. Until now, I haven't thought about how to handle it if not all of the applicants meet my minimum credit score. Should I just deny them all? Or, should I accept with conditions if on...

High stress but it paid off, I stopped teaching and managed to be a solo agent and since then I always had a good flow of clients.It requires a ton of sacrifice but I think is possible if you are willing to deal with high stress and make yourself available at all times for your clients.

In both scenarios, you won't really be impacted by the interest rate, unless your sole focus is not to pay a dime to the banks.
