What did you decide to do?

I'm accounting for $1200/month in rent when we decide to move out a year or two later.Thanks in advance, I'm sure I'm missing tons of stuff but I'd appreciate any feedback or comments.

If you decide to go HML, check out Anchor Loans ( I just worked with Gregg Kennedy - pm me and I'll send you his #)Good luckCarol

I decided to do the refinance at a slightly higher rate and use the money for an investment that I believe will lead to much greater returns than I am losing in fees and the higher rate.

It's my company and 15 years in I get to decide what business to take on.

If you can't get in now, you have to decided if you're willing to buy sight unseen.

When I first decided to invest, I knew nothing about real estate and joined FortuneBuilders.

You get rid of the tenants first then reno and find new tenants at the new higher market rents.Ideally you want to raise the tennats rent to market when you purchase and do nothing in renovations until they decide to leave.

You don't even need a duplex for that - just buy a house and get roommates (law is in your favor with roommates anyway).Step one (after you've decided WHY you want to do it and you've decided that you DO want to do it) is to learn to analyze deals.

I decided to take action and D4Ds, came across a FSBO close to me and contacted the seller, I'm now in the midst of preparing my offer and was trying to figure out the ARV but there aren't any comps in the area.
