We knew we wanted to investment in Puget Sound waterfront and my wife spent hours on Google Maps and driving around to develop a list of cold call applicants.

Also it appears you need to have your evaporator coil replaced due to door missing and large gap at the base of coil box. 

After WWII was the last time the US spent at this level.  

Think outside the box a little bit and consider buying acreage property here in Idaho in the path of growth. 

In my first year I spent about 3k just in classes and fees. 

The most recent flip I saw up close and personal, the flipper spent six months sleeping on a blanket upstairs in the place and he only stands to make $15K after he pays off his financing, IF he meets his target price, and I suspect he's not going to get particularly close to that number.

This will check the box for funding the double-close properly (if 'dry closing' is not an option) -- but you'll need to account for that in your math for how the deal pencils out. 

Total time I spent on resolving it...5 minutes...past refi/purchases where I did it myself to 'save costs'...it took hours, I had underwriting issues I didn't really know how to resolve and had to research or call and argue with less than helpful people...the point being you get what you pay for.

If they cut you out, then you've spent 5 minutes figuring out who NOT to work with.

Its a super old building that needs its slate roof repaired and a complete replacement of the box gutters.
