Hey Thanks man, I think if I or anyone maintains a desire to do this kind of stuff, it's only natural for success to follow.  

If you do sign up for a Plus or Pro membership then you should also include a short video of yourself and contribute to the forum, even if it is simply to welcome new members like yourself to add to your credibility.This is your first post and we have no info about you so members are naturally going to be skeptical.Finally, private message me if you would like to know more about the types of deals I am working on.Hope this helps and again welcome!

Many go to work every day taking care of their clients and doing the best job they can.A good real estate agent is similar in nature to a conductor of a symphony, coordinating the different players to make a successful transaction a reality.

You guys rock!

UNLESS: The cost to remove all the pastor and install sheet-rock is low enough to justify the job.I plan on doing a lot of the work myself/ hiring friends or highschool/college kids to help.

This will be an over simplification but look at some simple numbers:Year #1:4-plex @ $400,000FHA Mortgage (3%) =$1,700 / month = $20,400 / year3-rents @ $1,000 / month = $36,000 / yearNatural / Forced appreciation (10%) = $40,000 Year #2:Refinance @ $344,400 ($440,000 value)Traditional Mortgage (4%) = $1,650 / month = $19,800 / year4-rents @ $1,000 / month = $48,000 / yearNatural / Forced appreciation (10%) = $44,0002nd 4-plex @ $400,000FHA Mortgage (3%) =$1,700 / month = $20,400 / year3-rents @ $1,000 / month = $36,000 / yearNatural / Forced appreciation (10%) = $40,000 With natural and forced appreciation plus the equity gained by investing rents, there should be plenty of room to lower the mortgage amount - watch out for higher interest rates because they will be something that bites after coming off a FHA loan especially if rates increase.

Our goal is to buy 2 homes/doors this year possibly before September.We will be in Atlanta sometimes this month (likely 5/21) if anyone in the area please PM me.Thank you and BP community rocks,Lynn

It varies by municipality, and you can't throw a rock in Pinellas County without it crossing into a new one:Municipalities in Pinellas County, Florida Belleair North Redington Beach Belleair Beach Oldsmar Belleair Bluffs Pinellas Park Belleair Shore Redington Beach Clearwater Redington Shores Dunedin Safety Harbor Gulfport St.

I put zero value in shiny rocks that serve little or no functional purpose. 

Currently there is a non-conforming bedroom along with a total of  1,000sqft of livable fully  finished and well lit from natural light living space, including a bathroom and laundry — and a kitchenette area.
