In my brokerage and coaching businesses, I find 50% of my time is being spent saving investors from themselves.

Build a legal rental unit with kitchen, bathroom, new windows and others, according to the design from Sokol Design-Build GroupDig out the basement and install a new concrete slab, it's a separate addition job and will cost $ 15K - $ 20K.much better than the first one (and yes both are insured and are experts in the field) I may have to GC this project myself to save some money. 

But it's important to assess your financial status, emergency savings, investments, and cash flow requirements before making a decision.

Saved it from tax sale and created a low entry fee for the new buyer What was the outcome?

Offense is making money, defense is saving money.

I am 26 years old and currently have about 400,000$ saved.

This info is very helpful.

For illustration purposes, the windows are a 4 week lead time so you put the window order on your card and once they are installed, your lender releases the funds and you pay down the cards.I see too many “Gurus” teaching new investors how to use credit cards to cover down payments and they teach this because it creates the false perception that anyone can buy real estate with or without savings.

@Jim Windgassen Thanks for that info.

Yes spouse is absolutely on board, actually encouraging it as if I can get the REPS I am after, we’d actually save money even despite me quitting my job.
