A year later, I had a 30,000 sq foot new office building and 14 sales people.

Next, you must keep records of repairs that indicate odometer readings as in an audit the IRS WILL ask for them.If you have a home office, the rules are strict.

Just because you can't get a conforming loan for an investment rental property does not automatically disqualify you from a commercial loan.Talk to the commercial loan officer at a FL bank local to the area where your property is located.

If it's a mistake on the part of the Escrow officer, just get a corrected/amended HUD one rushed through and then get it to the underwriter.

I get that for rent I was more speaking to projecting revenues and expenses without any current tenants.

Once we valued the amenities of the lot, we'd design a basic home to determine where views would go and then place kitchen/dining area, great room or family room,master and office to use those amenities wisely.I've seen some great lots where the builder took a plan out of a "100 floor plans" book with no consderation to lot!

I know other family members who work a regular JOB.Their mindset is put money in savings in case of a medical illness or rainy day fund.Take 1 or 2 trips a year with vacation and that's all they aspire to be.They look at me and what I do and think "I am lucky" or "I have it good" that I have my own business.They think I sit at home in my office all day and do nothing.They do not realize I am putting in way more hours than they could imagine.I am sacrificing now so that down the road as I get older (36 now) I can take it more easy.Meanwhile many of these (savers) will be working as a greeter at Wal-mart at age 70 and complaining about social security not being enough.I am not going to be one of those statistics.A family member that is 68 has their house paid off,car paid off,and with social security still lives hand to mouth.I try to explain they need to grow that money to stay solvent but FEAR is what grips them from making a move.Whatever everyone believes we know we are born and in a certain amount of time we die.Where we go after that is up to each person to decide.So you do not have time to let FEAR keep you from making rational decisions and not living life.There is risk in everything.Successful people taker calculated risks and on average win more times than they lose.I guess I would be 4 and 5 since I have my own money but also buy property using owner financed deals.

Jason -Call up a Suntrust loan officer and ask them about their Doctor Loan program.

I made it a habit in my area to put it on the market on Thursday night so it appeared with the new listings on Friday, even though Friday was the deadest day in a real estate office in my area except for Sunday.
