So I'll take all of the data I acquire from all the programs and then analyze it piece by piece.

I’ve had several pieces moved to replace non-granite countertops when upgrading the current ones. 

That’s the only thing holding me back right now and I’d love to knock that piece of the puzzle out and buy the house.

TIA.I'm looking at a piece of land that's listed for $55,000.

I feel this is not brought up enough.  2 out of my 3 deals have been through a real estate program my bank (USAA) runs to provide a top notch agent to fill my need. 

I’m just wondering how he does that without piece mealing the contractors’  time on the job with the rest of the house?..  

Once you decide what you want to do is to set some goals and each goal can have several pieces that allow you to celebrate more as you seek them out. 

It is a bit of work setting up and taking down, but I have even sold some of the pieces with the house and made a little more money there.

Our intention is to pool around $10k into an LLC and begin in investing aggressively in securities for the next year so that by next summer we may have enough money for a down payment on a piece of realestate that we hope to rent out and reinvest into the company.

Now if I wanted to learn to become a developer and had a piece of land (sunk cost) it could cushion whatever rookie mistakes I would make.
