I hate doing little jobs even tho they are quick and make a good amount of money in the short time period. 

I could probably pound the note down below $429,000 pretty quickly, but don't want to be saddled with a higher rate for 30 years and would also like to avoid paying an additional $3,000 or whatever it is to refinance again later.

Filipe Pereira one other quick thing to note .... being honest with the seller(and yourself) that the deal does not meet your criteria financially does not necessarily mean that's the end of it.

If you put 24 hours, that's a bit unreasonable, but you'll find out pretty quickly if you're high offer or not "We need a little more time... we wanted to hold an open house..." etc.  

Hey BP,My goal is to hear some advice and/or pointers on what has worked for people with experience in what their advice is.Background:I'm a Carpenter in Northern California working for a General Contractor totaling 40Hrs-60hrs a week My current work is mainly Tenant Improvements/Remodels, In the past I've done custom homes as well.I'm sole provider at the moment for my family and am saving what I can though it probably wont be significant for InvestingIssues (oppurtunities):Dont have much capital 5000-10,000 - Saving about 500 a month Dont have GC license yet - Will have GC license in November 2017Will have Construction Project Management Cert early 2018 (March)I'm looking to be proactive and find an oppurtunity to enter real estate investing with a sustainable stratgegy.Current thoughts:- I can work full time and get jobs on the side to add to capital power - wholesale remotly, with savings?

I've done some quick analysis of a few that I have seen and they would not provide any cash-flow.

It is a deplorable side effect derived from equating tenants to a customer....the  "customer is always right" "place your customers interests first"  etc. mentality.We need to get back on top and as with everything else regarding investing leverage is the key. 

To me they are my customers and deserve my respect and attention That is until they stop paying.  

I think what U learned is there is no get quick rich schemes out there and real estate unless your going to work it full time as a broker is a looooong game.. now some do ok pimping it..

I'm trying to think of any way I can to try and get money quickly for a down payment for my next investment property.Financing for the next BRRRRI also have a question about whether most banks have a time frame for when you are allowed to refinance on a conventional loan or if there are any penalties for refinancing after 3 to 4 months.
