May want to consider an additional window as well as ventilation. 

I would suggest @Joe Funari to help on the purchase.

You don't need to...markups in retail are pretty uniform throughout the supply chain, and for public companies like Walmart, you can look at their quarterly filings to determine exactly what their margins are.With contractors, you don't have this same level of transparency, so if you want to ensure that you're getting reasonable prices, you need to do some additional investigation...

I would suggest you can expect mortgage rates to drop by a quarter of a point at a time (when the Fed meets)... and the way it's looking, probably not starting until 2025.  

I would try to do 80% purchase loans on both.So 70k*80% = 56k loan amount 14k down payment + you will also have closing coststhen 120k*80 = 96k loan amount and 24k down payment + your closing costs So you will have about 32k - closing cost and loan costs for an additional investment

Note that self-employment activity can be part time and in addition to being employed full time.

The 2 year lockout period means that they will not accept additional payments beyond the minimum payment (trade-off is that sometimes you can get them to go for interest only). 

I would suggest shadowing an experienced broker, learning the ropes of the business, and challenge yourself to do the hardest files.

Can use some suggestions on this deal please.
