Building for the larger cabins went through the roof.

i am not looking to be spending my days on the lake, I am looking to replace my day job income, and growing my portfolio.... but it is important to cover my costs first, which not 20k/mo but, that is what i'm accustomed to regularly (or more). 

Each lot is assessed with the taxes to cover such cost and they are paid monthly for the first 15 (give or take) years as part of your mortgage payment.

Thank you Brian, I really appreciate the feedback and this is what I will do.My plan is to get a job when I graduate to not only get that experience but also cover my livign expenses while building a portfolio on the side.In terms of buying my first deal, I haven't been able to move the needle because, where I am, for example, small multifamily is trading at around 5.5% caps and rates are 6.5% .

I always cover my experience, the brokerages experience, and expectations with communication - 9 - 5, M-F, 24 hr turnaround during business hours, and the owner can reach out to me personally when the team isn't present. 

Their charges for repairs have gone up the roof and they are not competitive at all.

He had this ambitious flip lined up and decided to tap into a 0% business card deal to cover the rehab costs.

I have a buddy that has been doing flips for a few years and he now has investors approach him asking to get in on his flips so he lets them cover the down payment/entry fee's for 30% return on their money.

Taking a small cut to cover transaction costs and operational expenses is standard in platforms facilitating financial agreements.

This has to cover your debt payments also.3.
