This would be a cash-out refi on the aformentioned one property (condo) and at the time of the application I have the choice of being either rental/income property or actually living in the property as owner-occ.

., so that’s a little bit of a plus.So that’s where I’m coming from, as far as where I want to go…my main goal is to create a stream of “passive” income which at some point would be high enough to cover my humble expenses, thus giving me a choice to do whatever I want, allowing me to quit the rat race being one option.

(c) Of course, ALWAYS focus on the ROI (return-on-investment) to determine if the effort and time are worth the work.By no means is this a complete guide, however I hope it gives you focal points to work with in making your choices.

I am a contractor in Lubbock and just ran a model for 30 units (5 bldgs of 6 units) single story (this is popular in Lubbock) My cost to build was about $85-$90/sf (excluding the cost of land). 

I asked my title company choice for their closing costs and they told me an estimate.

I haven't yet met with anyone yet but keller williams is top of my list with real estate one as my second choice just from reading about them.

Would a Realtor be a better choice or am I giving up more advantageous leads that a PM may have (i.e. wholesalers)?

So I am reaching out to the BP community for advice and or possible investment opportunity for someone.I do not have all the details as of yet, but what I know is the property sits on a double lot one block from the beach (in a very popular beach town).

That way he wouldn't have a choice.

. :-)I reinvest all profits, just was thinking this could help make decisions more black and white.Paying a handyman $30/hr for 20hrs($600) hurts, compared to doing it myself for free, but If I had to pay myself $1,000, the numbers (my business bank account) would show that the correct choice is to hire it out.
