Your 22 so essentially you work your balls off from now until 30 sinking all available resources into your real estate.

It's really hard to have a long term deflation when the dollar is sinking as rapidly as it does.

Hey Bryan,Your LOI asked for the kitchen sink for the buyer........ :)I love how you have sellers only recourse as the 10,000 earnest money but leave the buyer all options.I don't blame you.Ask for everything and see what happens.My sellers wouldn't go for an LOI like that as it stands.Did you close this deal and do they agree to the LOI as you had it or did they negotiate??

It's really a shame because apart from this issue the duplex is a wonderful property with tons of potential but the price for aquiring it as it stands makes it prohibitive to sink another 12k into it for rewiring.

I need to find that sweet spot where I hire out my time sinks while I knock out the rest. 

By fixing homes, I seek to keep middle class communities from sinking, which will mitigate these problems.

One of the things that I think will keep Bend's home prices from sinking too low again is the fact that we are running out of land to build on in the city limits.

I’m not really understanding what you are pointing outThe first one per square foot isnt hat bad so offer a little lowerThe one with the potential sink hole, when you get your real estate license how would you list the house for your client?

Many like to blab about little problems like a drip in the sink.

He never has to worry about maintenance or tenant turnover and builds a ton of equity right from the get go due to his ins in the construction process (best buddies with the largest builder in town and buys land at auctions and city demolition list).Construction/development projects aren't for the faint hearted and you'll sink faster than an anchor without being well capitalized in that biz but if you can cross those barriers, nothing can generate better returns than new construction
