The fence got installed this morning and they ended up over by about a foot according to my survey, but his survey shows something vastly different.

Dating back to my great grandfather, my family has always had a foot in the door when it comes to owning/managing real estate.

Seth, just remember that because you have more square footage doesn't the high price per square foot will convey. 

What's your 10,000-foot view of the commercial real estate market in this area?

As part of our first step to get started on the right foot we want to lower our expenses as much as possible, which is why we are currently in the process of refinancing our home in TX.

About how much should a full hard rehab cost for a 5,000 square foot property

Bottom line potential investors, i am a recovering foot dragger.  

Momma wants to wait and save about 50k to get another rental to move into for 2 months while we fix interior of primary and move back in then rent out the new rental.....I say we heloc or cash out refi the primary and get moving on it sooner than later at the lower rates etc.....I don't know....she has the emergency brake on as well as mashing down on the brake pedal and one foot out the door on the pavement as well....my gotta get out and go clock is about to explode knowing we have leverage and me wanting to make a move, or at least be able to make a move if something too good to pass up comes along......Guess I really need to ask a marriage counselor more than the experts here.

One idea I am thinking about, just to get my foot in the door, would be to buy a house with an FHA loan, set it as my place of residence, get some roommates, and have them live there, while I travel for work.

My guess is you would then split the proceeds from down payment with the foot on the ground representitive?
