These minor details are the kind that distract people from the path of success. 

Thank you for your detailed response, Melanie. 

I have a meeting in Queens during that time so I won't be there but if you stop by 12-2pm, my colleague will give you the details on the deal.It would be great to connect at the expo but I'd be happy to chat or meet up sooner. 

Transparency is key- detailed budgets, timelines, and exit strategies will set you apart.That said, moving to a new home mid-project could add a lot of stress.

I’ll add a few more details and answer some questions.

Oh wow, absolutely love all of these tips and details!

For example, more downpayment means less interest rate regardless or whatever loan.I am trying to see what sort of action I can take right now so I can plan detailed and measured steps to my goal.

Your tenants obligation was to pay you on Jan 1, so it doesn't matter if they paid someone else they still owe you...obviously details re: notice and dates all come into play here and from a practical perspective I'd work with the tenant and not move to evict over this.

I have the details in place, but need to make sure I fit within regulatory and accounting laws.

Thank you for all the details of this story.
