The local builders here couldn't believe this program as their in house lenders wanted 660 middle.

And I have contracted out (Again, nothing signed yet, just verbal agreements once we get funding) with a builder/GC who has done multiple Mix-use developments in the past 20 years as well.

As a builder and contractor I can tell you nobody seals floor decking as its not needed, instead you make sure your "wet" areas like kitchen sink area and bathrooms have proper covering like vinyl sheet or ceramic tile, also as Joel said, proper caulk to make sure any spills cant make it around your floor coverings and to the wood.

We are selling to CASH buying investors/builders/rehabbers who are investors.

This was on a new construction home so the builder paid the other half of the closing costs.

It's like a professional body builder that goes the natural route and steps on stage and places in the top 10, then does a cycle of steroids before the next contest and places higher.

When you interview the people you're going to hire to renovate, pay attention to his body language, and see if any gleaming rivulets of sweat begin to drizzle down the bountiful cheeks on his face.

I have no real estate experience per se, but I am a SC Licensed Residential Builder (not how I make a living right now).

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but if I'm right, I think one of the issues in your perspective might be that you're treating property investing as a substitute for work or other standardised income streams - I think it's more realistic to think of it as either a savings scenario, where you try to get the best return rates possible at the minimum possible risk, or alternatively, as supplementary income to an existing stream.Living off your investments completely normally means you either have a very large and lucrative portfolio (which, indeed, takes years to build), or that you've somehow turned it into a full time business, such as being a realtor, buyers agent, fixer/flipper, builder/developer etc - but that's a whole different yarn that should be correctly titled "running a realty related business" as opposed to "investing in real estate".Again, if any of my assumptions are wrong, please correct me.

Clearly, everyone with a bit of understanding of biology understands that "muscle memory" is formed by synapses organizing/firing in a certain way in your brain (since your brain controls your muscles along with everything else in your body), but this guy was convinced that everyone else thought that muscles really had a memory.
