Thanks so much for sharing your story with us!

Going to one without already having a pretty good idea of what you are after is just asking to spend money on wind.You could also talk with your local investors and see if they are willing to share their knowledge.

This might not be typical, since I bought at the low point of the market and now it's fully recovered.https://www.biggerpockets.com/calculators/shared/4...

I would recommend trying to build up your existing network - maybe start a local newsletter and share it (I use mailchimp.com for that).

Thanks for sharing.

I thought I would share the final numbers from a deal we did at the end of last year here in Northwest Indiana.

Can you please share some unique advantages you able to receive...Like...Leasing / Buying CarVacation write off MealsBusiness partiesetc...

Thanks for sharing this.  

., there is the delayed financing exception that could be applicable to your situation, but you've already waited 3 months so I'm going to suggest it might be easiest for you to just wait the second 3 months to bring you to the six month mark.At this point you can refinance using current market value.When the appraiser shows up, provide paperwork documenting all of your improvements (excluding any improvements that need permits, that you didn't pull) and, assuming you didn't do any unpermitted work, go ahead and share the old appraisal with him.

Joshua, please feel free to share your results with any of these banks.
