I never pay for the ticket and always crash the party heheUsually I have meetings in the lobby with folks that attend and network with others 😁See ya there (In the lobby lol)

I have a year-round renter in the basement as well - it’s not converted as a duplex officially, but has two exits and street level entry.

-if you buy something (just using round numbers here) for 100K, and spend 50K to fix up, and you're hoping it appraises at 210, and the appraiser values it at 140... you're going to get 90-105 out. 

I think the location was fantastic as it was not in an urban environment and allowed for a peaceful getaway.

I look at figuring what is the next big ticket item going to cost.

Because the 0% interest rate was coming to an end on the first of my credit cards through Fund & Grow, I sought a second round of funding through them so as to maintain a 0% interest payment on the funds going forward...still had to make the minimum payment going forward which at that time had accumulated to about $1000 per month plus property yard maintenance and taxes.Hoping that Clayton would do some of his magic and get the house built, screen some qualified tenants and get some cash flow going to be able to satisfy the payback of the credit cards until such time that I could get the new house independently appraised and financed through a traditional mortgage which the cash flow would have easily covered according to what Clayton promises in his podcast relating to the new construction builds. 

Many tenants limit their searches to round numbers; I would drop the rent to $1495 and see what new activity the market generates.

If you submit enough tickets and complain, long enough and loud enough, you will eventually get a phone call.

Family is better because it's harder to get away with 'screwing family over'.
