Hi guys - we are about to close on a property soon in Philly and are planning to do the following work - -Add HVAC, Add a full bathroom and add a half bathroom, Fix kitchen (keep same layout)My contractor is saying that (Approach - 1 ) - we don't need to pull permits.

After 3 years and a half of investing my portfolio is still a bit shy of 4M, so again, congrats for your stelar growth. 

The second estate he inherited was from his half brother; he once again operated their estate in a way to keep it whole and did not do land development; instead he started numerous business endeavors to keep the estate profitable. 

It is insanely hard to use and way overpriced, half of the functions don't even work properly and if you try to edit it yourself, it's so easy to mess up unless you're a Salesforce expert or a developer.

In one of the BiggerPockets groups some people were saying with the fed cutting rates a half point was a BIG change and then others saying a SMALL change.

Once the rental home is sold, my half of the proceeds will be roughly $113,000 (this is after closing costs and taxes and is an estimation based on the current market value). 

We paid half down and borrowed the other half with a 2-year short-term loan. 

My better half actually advised me from the get-go to let it go (I have a t-shirt which says "Let that shitake go!").

AirDNA projected less than half of what we actually saw our first year.

Pulled almost half a dozen action figures and small dolls out of there.
