Let me know if you ever need any assistance back in SD; happy to help.Best of luck!

I'm sure you' be happy to go after her e&o insurance if she forgot to tell you something that cost you $5k, right?

I would be happy to discuss the current market conditions of this area with you if you would like. 

I would be happy to discuss the financing options we provide for fix/flip investors.  

I managed the projects myself, found new subcontractors and slowly pieces together a new construction team to rebuild the projects.In the end, with the backing of my banker, and parts of my project completely redone twice to do things right, I was happy with the end product.

Happy Investing!

Thanks,  I am happy to be on here.It is a stable, sort of boring market.If you place a great ad, and screen well you can find tenants pretty quick.Since not much changes in the local economy (university / hospital / military town) the prices do not increase quick, so it is touch to get a lift in value on a building without doing big renos or holding for a long time.Michael P Currie

I'm not sure if our skills/experience are complementary or redundant but would be happy to make your acquaintance and see if we can be of help to each other.  

We will be putting $3,700 down, and borrowing $15,000 over 4 years at 5%, which is 4x the interest rate our relatives make on their savings in a bank CD, making both them and us very happy with the terms of the transaction.After closing, we anticipate ~$4000 in rehab costs to bring this very tired unit up to date, which will include refinishing the hardwood floors, complete repainting, new kitchen flooring, new counter top, new appliances, new lights, blinds, fans, toilet, etc.  

You seem fairly happy with your career and risk averse so nothing wrong with your plan.
