Its going to be a pretty sizable figure and she is looking into possibly purchasing a duplex or triplex.

I am looking at single family homes, student rentals or duplexes at the moment. 

@Ron Fletcher like I said before I drive my own truck and that doesn’t leave much time for reading but I have listened to several podcast and webinars I’ve learned a great deal but im not quite sure if my numbers are correct I’ve found a couple deals but I’m not sure if I’m doing things correctly I’ve ran numbers on at least 15 homes and duplex’s and 5 good deals I’ve felt would be good investments both short and long term for my market my next goal would be a hard loan I haven’t had the time comfortably learn about hard loans and loans in general give me a few days 18 hrs in a truck leaves a long time for audio books and pod cast rich dad poor dad changed my preception ofMy life and money i look forward to listening to richest man in Babylon

Looking at a condo in Clemson.

I also have a real estate investing company where we purchase a small 2-unit apartment building and partner with a contractor to convert them into 2 condo units. 

One of the main reasons why I want to do real estate is because after losing my job last because to a merger, I wanted to have another way to provide for my family and to reach financial independence one day.My goal is to become a buy and hold investor, buying duplexes and multi-families in my area and possibly out of state. 

Unless you are wanting to sell it as a true SFR and not as a duplex/rental property.As for the PM I would think that you could probably take them to court for damages but you would have to take them to court.

Right now I'm working on renovating hallway areas of an 8 story condo building and we will be removing (or creating) surplus materials - 8" stained/unpainted egg-and-dart crown molding, chair rails, and more than 200 light fixtures, - all in good condition.

The architect says he will charge me an additional $1k per unit if I do a condo conversion because his insurance comp I considers condo higher risk.Is this normal?

We recently bought a Duplex in the city we live in (within British Columbia) and have quite a large mortgage on the property ($700,000).
