It has saved me and everyone I have recommended it to from much stress & heartache.The Dow Chemical company has done a great job in making sure this simple & healthy method is off of everyone’s radar. btw- it also works for ants, mice, etcetera!

I want reliability, accountability, maybe some skin in the game (cost and time), and/or an annual retreat. 

That's a healthy amount to bring into your fold. 

The balance not used for selling costs, will represent the only skin you have in the game to the seller. 

Additionally I should add my cost to build number ($130K)  includes my holding cost for 9 months and a healthy overage for any cost overruns. 

So to maintain a healthy relationship with the realtor I opted to use her for the rental that way she was compensated for doing the work upfront. 

It also helps if the buyer put down a healthy down payment when it was first established.

@Leticia Montoya Chances are you'll need to use some of your own money to fund the deal (unless you are able to raise the money from family and friends and they don't require skin in the game). 

I would find the best real estate professional near you whom you find trustworthy and begin working with them to build a healthy investment portfolio which allows you to retire.

Little Village has a pretty healthy balance of cash flow with appreciation.
