As you learn go to meet ups, try to network/glean from experienced people and listen to podcasts/videos. 

Just wanted to follow up and see if you were able to put one together? 

If you are good at managing a budget I think this is fine.I agree, especially somewhere that is barely habitable those other 6 months, which describes the UP of Michigan quite well.

Hi all, For a rental home, tenant says bathroom floor keep getting wet, even though it is small amount. at first, they thought they dropped some water. after wiping water, however, it keep coming back and now they think there is some water leak. my plumber went to check and found no issue with bath sink. he thinks it must be shower leak. the shower was redone last year by a contractor, who i ended up firing since he did not show up to work later. anyway, i hired water damage restoration (Servpro) company to check how much damage there is now. unfortunately, based on my research, it is very hard to find source of shower leak. i am thinking of rebuilding shower. i hired a kitchen remodel contractor and he gave me two options; either fix shower pan only, or (optionally) rebuild shower as well. 

And when they finally do a deal they’ll leave you for the lowest cost option.2.

The right (or wrong) deal has opportunity cost.

I do not do this personally, but grew up around "horse people" in vermont/NH, and I feel like this is a great idea!

If you have a 30 day late on your mortgage, it will take some time for that to clear up a bit.

Strange experience... went to redfin to see what it says about my property... virtually nothing there but then my property typed out with (unit) #2 shows up with all my details.

I did not see closing costs on your spreadsheet for either the initial purchase or the refi.
