Also, in the mountains, there are rare seasonal moments in the smokey mountains that one can only capture at the opportune moment (i.e. fog falling over the mountaintops, Twighlight photos, snow photos, bear or deer stepping on the property, etc.).

I bring this up because it is thrown out there in a trite and simplistic manner as though factual all over BP (and has been for years), when in the majority of cases the 'fact' will not bear true. 

Move your money to M1 or IBKR brokerage and take a loan from there, they can allow you to have a loan of 25% of the margin position with a low-interest rate.Also I would rather take a loan of 401k to funding acquisition, rather than sitting in 401k in the bear market,loan  payable in 5 years.

This has no bearing on whether your loan docs are bulletproof and enforceable or not.

Every one of those I've gone to, there are way too many people there, the prices are crazy high, often more than retail value, and here in Texas they provide quit claim only, which is a bit of a bear to resolve...more time and money.   

Starting out you could put in a CD, so you can get your bearings.

I would also (wherever possible) open up the wall between the kitchen and living room, even if it is a bearing wall and you can only put in a pass-through....In years of doing both flip and high-end remodels, I found out (and everyone knows this) that the kitchen is the #1 room in the house.

The drawback is I can't get a car in my garage (lol)...First let me say that property looks great,  and my garage is always out of control between my tools and left overs from flips our cars bearly fit. 

The bears were back with their sell everything NOW posts. 

I'm not into the musty moose genre, so I'd take your place over the wood bear statue on the porch any day.
