Contract for Deed for an additional 18 months.

I believe in failing forward you should always try and there are sites like this now to give you all the advice you need...

Hello, I'm new to the site and have been weighing my options on how I invest my money.

This has allowed me to build not just my real estate business but also a home services business which has really taken off and provides additional income streams for me between my flip/develoment  paydays.

My brokerage isn't listed on the site, but I did speak with my District Director about it.

What @John Underwood said ^^^^ get the info yourself from the sites that we actually use.

The property was renovated and added an additional bathroom and bedroom.

I could see it if Columbus has been having a better recent rate of appreciation than San Diego, but that is not the case.In addition, the predictions I have seen for San Diego appreciation in the near term have it continuing to be near the top of the nation. 

It's probably in his best interest to hold as he only needs requires $250K MAX in addition to the property he is selling, and can secure a new loan on the new primary.

This is basic accounting and I believe there is even a tutorial on the help page if you haven't done it before...Things that don't fall into an expense or income category can be done at the top as a journal entry (additional owner investment, escrow rebalancing, etc)...Do this all and you get some nice reports off the reports tab (the graph icon)...I have things done at the property level but you could choose to do it down at the door level if you wanted.
