Nobody is selling anything remotely as useful and most online courses are some book they cobbled together borrowed from a site like Biggerpockets --  Only then to sell you for a  fortune.You already made your first great decision to question the material in a post....Wasn't that easy? 

Thanks, I didn't realize there was online material offered on here as well.

Here in Texas the seller is required to disclose any KNOWN material issues that may influence the buyer's decision.If the buyer walked away because the inspection discovered an infestation of termites, that would be a material issue which should be disclosed to future buyers.

When the goal of everyone involved is just to make a buck, it's a tough sandbox to play in.  

Some of the material will be the same as at the Paper Source, but I will be going into more detail on partials and who gets what in the event of defaults or early payoffs.Take careTom HendersonH&P Capital Investments, LLCwww.hpNOTES.com

Asking the prodesk at Home Depot which general contractors order the most materials and do good work is a great hint.  

Most are 3 to 5 years and some push to 7. 10 is out there but very tough to get.Most asset classes cycle every 7 to 10 years so you want at least that amount of time with a loan so you can refi or sell at the optimal time and not because you used short term debt for a stabilized asset where the existing cash flow is the main return.  

I think $60 is reasonable for a service call fee, as this not only includes diagnosis, but also shopping for the parts, buying them, coming back a few days later to finish the job, etc.Some places charge less for the service call, but end up taking a 50% mark up on all materials so you end up paying more.When dealing with landlords, when not an emergency and they give me regular business, I often end up just charging the time spend in their buildings at a flat hourly rate plus the parts at list price.

It seems like the majority of lenders I come across will not go below 20% which tough as this means I would have to put $30k down and I did not want to tie up too much of my liquid assets in one property.  

CSLB requires that anyone doing a job of combined labor or materials of $500 or more be licensed.
