I am still working on building my contacts daily to exterior work (stucco), stone work and more but construction in the bay area is a small world and can find anyone needed.I am looking to build local connections and get to know more from other local investors, as I would also like to add value to whoever is interested in building a mutual friendship.

Those numbers sound about right for an investment property especially with the loan amount being so small. 

we manage several small multi units there nothing large in norman for us though at this time. 

We removed the small 4 ft section of fence and had a 6 ft fence installed. 

The advice I would give to you, is to start small. 

I currently work as a project manager for a general contracting company and have been involved with construction my whole life (my dad is a small construction GC himself).

An exemption is offered for the first $50k of Florida source net taxable which helps a lot of small businesses. 

If you don’t own real estate yet and are looking for your first deal look at small multi families. 2-4 units.

However, a small portion has been transferred to me, but is still being held in my name by the custodian that was administering my dad's original retirement funds. 

If you have a $100,000 loan at 3.75% and that goes up to 5.25% but your able to get another 50-100k out the additional cost on your current loan is only $1500 per year which is a small price to pay to go create some other opportunity that over the life of that second investment can yield you $50,000-$150,000.My biz partner told me years back, "Don't step over quarters to pick up pennies", which to me most of the time translates to calculate the money you are not making by taking that next step vs the money you are trying to save.
