Just an observation and one girls thoughts, Best of luck to you.Melissa

Hi everyone, I'm a broke struggling college student so I can't afford much but I'm determined to be a real estate investor.

I was living with my girlfriend and we broke up, and I moved out.  

Be an errand  boy/girl, lick stamps, make phone calls, etc.  

A half-million dollar primary labor camp, I mean house, is what the majority of broke America does.   

He ended up getting thrown in jail and we had no choice but to evict him, which broke my heart because that meant he lost his voucher. 

@Brendan LongeWhy don't you just fix what you broke and not worry about it.  

That alters the rate.In all of those scenarios, you should have a trusted advisor you can call to ask questions, pitch a variety of loan structures and get a good answer on a ballpark rate (because until you lock, you just don't know).Just one girl's opinion.  

But you had to review the bid (which broke out materials/labors) before you accepted it.

I had a tenant that broke through a second story wooden deck railing at 2 am and fell to the street and had injuries last year.
