I know someone who lost their business because a home owner refused to pay them the final payment of $250,000 due to a illegal contract.

Inspect it and walk it with your contractor.With older houses, you have to do a little more due diligence before you make your final offer or close.

I've been waiting patiently since then.I finally found a good off-market short sale in Bristol Township.

It is only important to start.Northwest Indiana is a much better place to start when you finally go solo.

Finally clearing the air for me!

I'm waiting for the final response. 

Thus giving you an extra income and more business experience.And congrats on reaching your final year and capstone project!

Recent story: I have a client that has been looking for an office space for some time and finally the property that checked all boxes hit the market.

Assuming $2600 rent, with 10% prop-mgmt fee, plus a 15% contingency, that leaves $100/mo cashflow which seems like is cutting it way too closeMy main goal would be to diversify my investments beyond stocks and bonds; also would be good to be able to apply the initial leverage I used during the purchase for a longer period of time for appreciation (not sure if that's sound logic tho); and finally would be nice to not pay the $30-40k in selling closing costs.Thanks in advance!
