I can set reminders and what not to remind myself... but I was curious if anyone had utilized something like Excel to track their communications with people.

A lot of my clients were picking up three units for 240-250k last year in Berwyn and Forest Park, and those same opportunities are now selling for north of 300k.

Move out of state to house hack a property because the current city I'm in (Denver) is slim pickings. 

Some utility companies will allow you to pay for a utility pole move.

I would analyze it to include the replacement rent once you guys move out because your true return of that property is providing you the utility of that rent (so if you lose $200/mo but would be paying $1,000/mo to rent elsewhere, it’s in fact a solid investment and you can ‘save that extra net +$800 towards increased principal pay down or save for another down payment.

Ideally they're interested in a small turn key opportunity that would allow them to operate a short term rental business while also utilizing the space personally for vacation - great idea right?!

Of course all the great members get many thanks as well for having answered questions and picked up the phone for me.

As to the income, many people on here can attest that it's actually not hard to live on $50k when you have no mortgage, no car payments, no other debt, you have health coverage, low taxes, etc, and fortunately that number goes to $60k next year without considering any other cash flow (purchase of rentals, may pick up part time work myself for extra savings, etc.).

Yes, Home Depot has a bid room for Pro accounts and anything over I believe $2500 can go through the bid room.We are picking finishes for a 284 unit deal we are closing in a few weeks and looking at ordering via HD Supply.Some items we may source directly from the manufacturer in China.

So everyone will give you a different  opinion but the point is going to be this .....”Just pick one, and go with it!”
