Option 1: 21 year old signs up for Bigger Pockets, house hacks, networks with successful real estate investors, learns how to best allocate his money, after 5 years doubles his income through smart investments, by 31 is financially free from the shackles of employment for the rest of his life.Option 2: 21 year old signs up for Bigger Pockets, decides to get married and not invest because he believes in "happy wife, happy life", resents her because his money is spent on unnecessary square footage in the perfect home, multiple cars, and vacations, and he doesn't satisfy his urge to invest.Which one is best FOR YOU?  

Yes, the patch is visible, but there were issues with this ceiling, and considering that, I'm satisfied with the job.Below is the repair I did.

@Chris Sukala Yes a ROBS 401k can be used to fund a real estate operating company provided the real estate operating company requirements are met and continue to be satisfied. 

If you're planning on investing then save the cash to invest it, even if you just keep it liquid to satisfy reserve requirements.

The downside is you will need to live there, for a minimum of one year (to satisfy FHA Requirements); AND because you closed personally, you will not have Asset Protection, in the form of closing in the name of a LLC.

After hearing me out and having some conversation she explained to me that she saw no reason that the property couldn't be combined under a single tax ID and that the land description be changed to satisfy the bank.

Also, clearly state in the contract that there are no financing contingencies - this normally satisfies most seller objections.On your question about appraisals, my company does not require an appraisal in most cases for hard money loans, we use in-house comps and/or BPO's.

tell them you will pay them cash at the end of a completed and satisfied job.If they do not like this arrangement move on to another contractor.

Once paid off, I filed a notice that it was satisfied.

The demolition is always a satisfying part of the job because it happens fast, and it comes after so much time and investment has been made in design and permits, engineering, remediation and logistics.
