Leasing is usually slow in the winter months and picks up in the Spring and Fall.Lastly, do not forget to include a healthy marketing budget.

We will probably each sit for our licensing exam B4 the end of the year (mine will be a refresh from having earned my brokers designation 30 years ago) and will start fairly slow with available personal capital plus other sources.We would love to hear from other local members (or anyone for that matter) as we ramp up and will enjoy becoming a contributing part of our new investor community.ThanksMatt

Are you taking it 'slow' or taking it 'fast'?

If you're looking for strictly cash flow, some turn-key properties in the Midwest might be a good move although I would go slow until you were sure you had a local partner you could trust.

Slow and steady really does win the race in real estate, since time is your ally if you buy good deals and hold them.  

What's the benefit to me for either one and if I don't choose the lender will he slow down the loan. 

you have to start out early what is going on in your area your area in is peek season for contractor and there are more jobs than there are contractors after the weather breaks it slows down and the prices will come down so reach out early to get your estimates for  your job.

Legal proceedings are currently taking place to square everything up, but the process is moving extremely slow.

A big advantage of a governmental 457(b) plan is that it is not subject to the age 59-1/2 withdrawal rule.

Is there a way that I can withdraw from the second or third if the first one is approved or withdraw from the first one if the second one is approved.
