Weddings aren't cheap and I shouldn't have tried to deliver on promises too big to keep for my wife's dream wedding.While some see me to still be over leveraged, I believe that I am at a much better level now.

I am trying to gain the skill of analyzing properties but im having a hard time with that.The interest on the seller financed loan is a simple loan with a term of 10 years and the seller is flexible in many ways but wants a chunk down payment.Thanks again for a fast response.

They can sit on it for 6 months before using it or they can file for you next season in January before you do and get your refund before you have even filed.These are very, very different levels of risk.And you as a C.P.A., who I presume is dealing with people's personal information, to treat it so casually is rather alarming. 

Since you have GC skills, I suggest doing that work right now for other investors while the market is hot again and save up enough cash to do your own projects.Construction costs are through the roof, no reason why you shouldn't be taking advantage of that!

Usually just by these metrics, you can get a high level overview of where demand may be going.Also, you could speak to surrounding brokers and property management companies to get secondhand opinions.

I depends on your knowledge, skills, abilities, goals, time horizon, risk tolerance...

But you can minimize that with some reliable people on the ground locally.All that said, my comfort level is long distance = short holding period.
