Loan: $163K, Appraised @ $235K a year ago, and I'll put about $7K into it before it sells (carpeted to laminate stairs, fresh paint, fresh grout in baths, new front door and rear sliding doors).Will pay 5% down on my new home and use the rest to begin real estate investing.I do corporate finance, and work for a huge company that probably made the phone you're using.

And of course because it dries rock hard every time, doesn't stink like Beijing, won't require multiple coats that never seem to dry, doesn't rot in the can, is always fresh, and lasts the customer for years.

Leaving fresh transfers the options of: Purchasing (Riskiest), Rentals (Convenience), and stay in the barracks (Generally sucks).

I feel that now that I've found BP that heavens gates have opened for me, I love the vast information sources and the podcasts a great to listen to and always keep REI fresh on the mind.I currently own 1 rental property and would love to get into fix and flip but feel like every other beginner investor that finding first flip capital is like looking for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Mowing stripes and fresh mulch are quick, easy, and inexpensive ways to get some curb appeal!
