I like hiking with my dog, getting out to concerts and events, and drinking cold beer.As far as real estate, I have no experience as of yet.

If you rely on contractors for materials, ideas there is a good likelihood he will mix your project with others make you pay expensive items that should belong to another customer.  

Existing properties you can have fully stabilized properties, half stabilized, completely vacant, etc.Some give no cash flow upfront, some give a mix of cash and equity upside, others have little cash flow but much more upside on the back end.

I used to live in Winter Park and that area has a ton of students mixed with families because it's in the center of Rollins, UCF, full sail, Seminole State cc and Valencia community college.

According to the ABCs of Real Estate Investing, we are to look at the unit mix schedules to verify rent income on properties.

Can you verify that the building can be converted to mixed-use prior to purchase?

I would do lunch and skip dinner  U don't want any alcohol in the mix. 

Its good to have a mix in my opinion.

To me, you are mixing terms.

I'm also interested in learning more about things like Hard Money, Private Lenders, and The BRRRR Strategy.If anyone is based here in the greater DFW area and wants to grab coffee or a drink sometime, hit me up!
