For added perspective, Philadelphia's true class A neighborhoods trade for more than $250K per door so there's no shot you are buying true Class A or Class B buildings with your budget.

we bought our starter home and kept it then traded up. 

I interviewed a few financial planners with different models and the fee only was the only way they get paid without me spending money (in trades, buying insurance policies, etc.).Talk to @Michael Izbotsky.

The GC license in now way shape or form guarantees that:1) They know about the trades they are hiring for2) They know how to manage, organize, delegate during the job3) That they will be at your house making sure things get done rightI only work now with people who hold GC licenses, they are insured, AND they need to know the trades and actually be working next to the guys in the house. 

Hello everyone,I began my real estate investment journey in 2016 while pursuing dual degrees—an MBA and a Master's in Computer Science. 

It’s a trade-off between saving on interest with the hard money loan and the additional closing costs.

I'm not bold enough to buy real estate at negative leverage - few deals in my area (and I presume, Manhattan), are trading at "Cap Rates" greater than 7%. 

The are charging $40.000  for "continuing education" to be allowed to attend their seminars and computer program.

I am a contractor by trade and understand the costs/processes to build, but I am lacking in how to determine a proper sale price with little data. 

Arranging schedule of various trades and balancing the good ones with the ones that are available.Permitting and inspection issues (should be a non-issue, but last house we had a new inspector that seemed like he had something to prove and nitpicked what I view as non-issues).Market swings impacting ARVs, or in the current market: are we going into a recession before the house can be completed?
