Finally a petition was passed around the neighborhood and delivered to the council rep.  

You can also write up final payment on check.

The property finally got approved by the VLB on August 30.

Finally at 10pm tonight I asked for an update and they said they were out.The garage is still filled with their junk.

@Aubrey HardmanI believe the answer you are looking for depends on your personal goals and what phase you are currently in.Phases of a RE businesss - Buy a Million(Acquisition), Own a Million (Growth/Optimization), Distribution (Maximize Cash Flow)If you are still in the Acquisition phase of your business, you should be setting all of those funds aside for acquiring new properties or investments to add to the portfolio.Keep in mind that the ROI is often better keeping the property leveraged by cash out refinancing and putting those funds to work as well during your growth phase.

What type Acquisition Loan are you using?  

These days tenants often want a discount so we do not know the final agreement.

Beyond that I have gone back to listen to every single podcast and learn from others experience to better prepare me and finally got past the fear and bought my first property a little over a year ago and now looking to buy my second & third very soon.

Hi everyone,I'm a new investor, finally pursuing a lifelong dream.

Hi everyone,Been researching for a long time between podcasts and reading books, but finally jumping in tomorrow and going to see my first property.
