I unexpectedly won an auction for TWO properties.

Don't forget friends and family money...you might be surprised who would be interested in a short term loan.

-Went over budget by about $80K Biggest surprises were sprinkler (~11K for sprinklers + 9K for extra engineering + 3 months holding costs) and water/sewer lines.

It is because postmarked / sent date means something.I am surprised you would even think to charge her a late fee.

The business has been stable and profitable for the last 20 years, although we think we could rent the commercial space to someone else in the future if necessary.Please correct me if the following assumptions are grossly wrong:The SFR has a more potential stability in terms of demand and fixed interest rate, however there are more opportunities for unexpected expenses.  

You might be surprised at what they can do for you.

I'm kind of surprised you got the daughter to agree to the credit check.

Well, to my surprise turns out i qualified.

The folks in Wellington have a surprisingly good handle on things as compared to USA, Great Britain, Canada, Germany and France regarding immigration.

Hopefully I will be posting some rehab updates in the near future, barring any major surprises during the inspection.My boyfriend is a master plumber/contractor who bought his first investment property two years ago.
