I could have put a bandaid on as it still worked but I pride my houses in being higher end and good quality.As we continued with the house, I ended up putting in over the top finishes such as heated tile floors in the master bath and sound insulation under the hardwood floors to reduce noise transmission to basement.

i want to end up in multi family homes in the long run, but i have no money down, no money for vacancy,repairs,rehab, etc.. my idea was to start with a single family home(easier) with good equity, live in it. but fix it up a little & house hack to pay my mortgage. then a year or two down the road pull out the equity or even sell and purchase a multi family home that way ill have more money to back me up. how does that sound as a first investment? 

I think I've hit analysis paralysis stage with 1 property in my rental portfolio and would appreciate some financial advice, specifically - based on the numbers, does it make sense to hold long term, or 1031 into something better? 

It may sound counter intuitive but if you can find an investor locally who is willing to let you split the cost of investing and split the cost of the profits you are far better off.

Sounds like you've done the education, good luck on getting your feet wet! 

My second event i went on Craigslist to find an ad came across an ad saying Become a real estate investor earn while you learn, thought i give it a shot this guy was telling me about Renatus and great mentors they had he invited me to a meeting in south jersey on a Thursday night to watch a guy name scott rowe who has made millions of dollars off real estate education, before i went i had to research what renatus was and who these people the guy was telling me about needless to say i was skeptical about rowe and this guy name brian meara they said he does shortsales and i ask the guy who invited me what shortsale was and he said the host will tell me, sounded like he didnt know what it was either, for the most part all he said was that this was an opportunity of a life time, wasn't sold on that either so i sat there for about an hour and 20 minutes listening to scott say he was from Chicago show me picture of  his community a pie chart how to get into renatus how to pay for very expensive education how to get the money blah blah blah caught in quick that this was an mlm meetup.

I am looking for the best Premier House Furniture Staging Company near Atlanta, Alpharetta area.

You can go either way with your Masters, some will even argue why even go for a Masters.At your stage in life I would suggest go for degree that will give you best chances for finding a job quickly out of school with a high salary.

It may sound nice to pay a 5% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no add-on fees.

I’m currently in the learning stage and trying to soak up as much as I can through BP and its podcasts.
