I"m detail oriented and a great communicator.  

I would use the extra cash to make extra payments and if my calculations serve me well, I would get rid of PMI (another 450 or so a month) in about 6 - 7 years. 

PM or call/text me for details as I'll send you my guys details.

I have found the best way to control costs is to have a detailed material sku sheet.

Do you have any outputs you use that are worth the extra money because they help you in some way? 

Does anyone have any ideas on what a fair return  would be when apporaching certain family members or associates for the purpose of investing some extra money they have in my 1st buy and hold real estate purchase.  

Always remember to do a math analysis on a prospective property and try to look at it before you make an offer or at least have a clause in the sales contract that will allow you some time (about 15 days) to make a detailed inspection on the subject property without a penalty that will hurt y'all.I am 59 years old and I found BP about a year ago and I have not decided what to do.  

The appraiser went to the property, took pictures, found four comparable properties and did a valuation based on all the details from those properties.

Here are a few details:-20 investors w/$25k-$100k each-Purchase price: xxxxxxx (removed in case appraisal district starts snooping around!)

Always remember to do the math analysis on the prospective property and try to look at the subject property before you make an offer or at least have a clause that allows you the time (about 15 days) to make a detailed inspection and possibly back out of the deal without a penalty that hurts you.Right after you close get an insurance policy that will protect you if there is a loss.
