I will share where I am today financially and what are my future Real Estate Investing goals are.

My long term goal is to transition out of the corporate world, so it's nice to meet others succeeding with similar goals.  

@Derek Tellier You want to spend money in adding basement apartment so money is used for long term goal. 

The overall goal is to have the lender approve to sell the property for less than what is owed so the homeowner can walk away not owing anything and can avoid foreclosure. 

I have a plan in place and a goal to reach FI by 55.

Upside: more units, potential good cashflow, etc.My overall RE goals are wealth generation (retire early) with cash flow second (but always appreciated). 

My goal now is to get as much advise as I can and hopefully gain some contacts to start some mutually beneficial relationships in the industry and to help me decide what is the best strategy for my particular situation before I dive into learning as much as possible about those areas.

Holding Costs $107,700 All-in- $84,000 Refinance loan = $23,700 Cash remaining in the property If your goal is to have zero cash invested after the Refinance, then, you need a lower Purchase price.Not sure why the Points are included in the HML.  

Bottom line, I only make improvements that meet my investment goals for those properties. 

My end goal is to become and active and reputable Real Estate Investor.Areas of Interest: Dallas/Arlington/Fort Worth-Wholesale/Agency (I understand there may be conflicts of interest if not handled properly)-Flip/Rehab-Buy & HoldDoes anyone have any suggestions?
