She stated that it’s 65 degrees in there.

If you are just going to get a degree, you would be better served continuing to get the hands-on experience you're already working on.

Our apt is very cold (65 degrees F as of now) and my 2 yr old son is already sick.

My undergrad degree is actually in RE micro-economics and I studied with the late great Chip Case of the Case/Schiller Index fame, so...not new to the thought space of real estate markets.

Consider this a lesson that will make you a better investor in the future. same with aviation sometimes you have to take on that 90 degree cross wind landing .but really 5k over budget shoot thats a win every day of the week in the rehab business.

I think you are right to some degree, though I am not a big investor as you are describing, thus this is just a guess, but I believe they invest for not just a 5% CAP rate, but more for a IRR which includes Real Estate increase or some version of CAP increases (increase prices, reduce operational expenses, reduce taxes, value adds, etc.)...but my point was more along the lines of just pure advertisement of SS with pure CAP rates, especially when mortgage is required which is now at or above the advertised CAP rates.

I mean you can get bigger, but it usually means an increase in service size to the home.I do have our heater set at 135 degrees.

There are real estate syndication projects available ranging from ground-up construction to value-add assets, and even turnkey syndications.Deal sponsors typically provide an executive summary, full investment summary, and an investor webinar for investors, which provides a full 360-degree view of the asset, market, deal sponsor team, business plan, and the projected financials.Take time to properly vet the sponsor team, ask them your questions, and read between the lines of any investment materials they provide.

Public Works wants us to disconnect and cap the existing lateral, turn it 90 degrees downhill and connect it to the new lateral about 75 feet away.

I set us some objectives and looked at where I could get my target investment returns while taking a reasonable degree of risk.Hope this helps in your reflection.
