I enjoy the work, but I want and see bigger things for my family.My brother-in-law and I have the same kind of mentality and are both super excited about real estate and the potential it gives for freedom to be with our families. 

I don't want to come out as a super noob just trying to make a quick buck.

So, if you are going to put the property under contract, you need to be super aggressive on getting the price down, and you need to make sure you give yourself ample time to find a buyer.  

@Bob Bowling   WE will soon find out...

A super storm/hurricane came through and we had 13 ft of water, 5 ft on the 2nd floor. 

They have switched over to another that is super complicated for me.

Super Stoked!

This is the first time we have made a foray into commercial mortgages, and the fees and costs seem super high (could total close to $15K-$20K when all said and done!).  

Also, letting someone else have their name on your investment is super-scary as they will be the ones determining when and if it's sold; if they die or marry before transferring it, their heirs or spouse could own part of your investment; income tax consequences or you paying grantor's or transfer taxes just to get it in your name, etc.

I'm glad I have 3 areas working for me at present and 1 is super hot, making me change my thoughts..
