I think I may be inputting wrong or confused as to what numbers/costs go where in the calculator since I'm initially using private money, then doing a cash-out refinance while using my own cash for renovations....

Thank you to everyone here who had input to aide in my success at finding a competent commercial broker.  

Like I tell my wife, no matter how much work we have to do, it's a means to end to hopefully retire early and not have financial worries.Thanks for the input!  

A wise LL once said "timid LLs have skinny kids."
