So, before I close on this house, I would like to hear all ideas on the best use of this money taking my goals to account. 

It is never a binary decision it is a choice especially for a beginner like yourself.  

I've built up 9 properties, about to close on #10.   

I'm starting out with relatively low capital and as I start honing in on prospects, I'm just now realizing that I haven't yet calculated closing costs into any of my deal analysis.

Hello Everyone,I'm trying to figure out what should the buyer pay for closing costs?

I think it's still cutting it close and now I have to back track and add up all that time, so re-creating a time log.

I am interested in purchasing a 3-4 BR home in Loma Linda (close to the University and hospital) and renting out the individual rooms to students and professionals of LLU.I know currently the market is not great but I was wondering:- How is the demand for housing among students / professionals?

The Yale “bubble” is still centered quite closely around Yale, and that’s also true of the other schools there.

Agents come in all flavors we are closing one next week.

If you want to manage it yourself, I'd suggest buying close to where you live.
