The same money spent on MFR out of state at the time would have netted me a much greater financial benefit. 

I consider that to be a very naive and kind of a lazy way of doing financial calculations.So I really would suggest all Investors do at least a 10 year pro-forma projection business plan.

I'm 26, and working to get the life I want to live happily, financially free, and to the standard I uphold myself to through Real Estate!

You have to know how to read financial statements so you can begin to recognize a problem when it starts. 

You could go with a stand alone key pad and electronic strike as well. 

Since 1975, prices have only dropped twice -- once in the mid-80s when the oil-centric Denver market was hit by the drop in oil prices; and a second time in the aftermath of the 2007-08 financial crisis.Now is a tricky time to sell.

After college, I knew I wanted to pursue my law degree and I ended up back in CT because I missed my very large Italian family (also law school is f***ing expensive so financially it made a lot of sense).

On the financial side, this method allows you to have all the regular financing options you get when purchasing a property in your own name - since that is how you are conducting the transaction.

Factor that in as wellI'd like to think we're capable, but would hate to dive in and find out I'm wrong lol - You need to make highly calculated moves and be financially stable enough with 6 months of carrying costs for you personally as well as the home you're financing to flip/rent/etc. 

Ideally if you provide paperwork for review, and your financial situation doesn't change much from now until the time you're ready to refinance, you *should* get an accurate answer as to how much you can qualify for.
