Consider that I am am strong with financial modeling, excel and concepts of leverage & financing, and am less experienced with constructions and repairs and working with contractors.

I’m not suggesting following their advice to a T, but the concepts may be useful.

Will explore that concept.

If I'm not mistaken, CEMA is basically the concept of paying off the current mortgage and then pulling equity again for a second Mortgage which obviously is an extended period of time depending on merchant preference. 

Also - I would brainstorm some ideas yourself and come up with a concept that might work.

I mean I have a concept I’ll follow once I get started, the BRRRR strategy, but I need help getting started.

Loved them, but couldn't figure out how to implement the concepts, especially later on when I was stationed out of the country.

Personally, I spent too much time trying to study every last REI concept before realizing it wasn't fruitful. 

This might also allow the option agreement to be invalidated.Again, these are just some concepts and ideas to consider; I hope they help.

You can use these same concepts wherever you are.
