Hi Max, I have been investing for just over 8 years and have been doing my book keeping using excel.

The MLS remains an excellent place to find deals because of the sheer volume of deals on the platform.

Thankfully my credit is excellent with no late payments or liens or other things ever.

For a borrowers like my husband and I with a seemingly simpler situation (looking for primary home not an investment property, no debt except for our current mortgage, excellent credit and low DTI <10%), we were thinking we'd have more options to shop lenders/rates. 

Between Covid delays for permitting, construction delays to keep bringing the inspector and engineer back in as we found more and more structural issues, then amending the plans and waiting on them to be approved by the city after each amendment, plus a GC I hired that lied about his level of experience and took forever to finish plus ignored every material selection I made and ran with his own finishes that were mostly bargain basement closeout garbage, it took a year and a half to get this from acquisition to stabilized. 

When you get your degree in electrical engineering you'll likely move and get paid excellently right out the gate.

The fact that I'm doing this and not paying somebody else is largely a product of the fact that I want to eventually refinish the select-grade/clear oak floor and I cannot trust anyone to pull all those belt-shredding staples conscientiously for any amount of money.There's plenty of money down the line in fixing and bulletproofing the floor of the right rental, but I don't see people eagerly jumping at the bit to get at it.

Excellent questions.There is a base model that includes white glove installation with minimal site prep that starts at $64,000 with addons that increase in price from there.
