Hi @Dana Black,It sounds like you've already made up your mind that you want your second deal however having a hard time trying to figure out which move to make. 

I am sure you think you work hard for your money but  I have seen many investors who do shoddy jobs or less than quality on their flips and price like they are gold plated so let's not call the kettle black. 

I am a new member looking to meet people local to the Cape Cod/Boston area.

Sandy,My in-laws just finished major renovations to their home in West Cape May and have met with many of the local contractors. 

@Thomas S.... even though 85% of my rentals are not section 8 I would not classify the people how you are.Here's the deal.... trash is trash... it doesn't matter if they are white or black.

Did some rehab on an old kitchen in a Cape we bought.Cabinets $3900, Granite $1759, porcelein Tile .93 cents/sq ft.

Lets say the tenant is white but the boyfriend is black.
