Thank you for your time in advance.

I'm so close, this is the craziest transaction of my life.

We knew he was a frustrated seller who did not want his time wasted again How did you finance this deal?

Full time flight nurse and pay/schedule is allowing me to dabble in the world of real estate.  

If you're 50/50 on whether to do it, I would encourage you to self-manage your first few rentals and then when it becomes too much of a time commitment turn it over to 3rd party management.

Next time, it is 100% on them.

And at the same time as you mention the cost is close to the same as Boston and you don't make as much $ as a developer. 

Resulting in us paying this HELOC back slowly for time being.

I will be leasing a commercial property for the first time, it is a small retail space in Northern California.

I have found many people on here are willing to answer questions and share their time.
