Have you pulled the pump and tested it yet?

I’m excited Ya, going to be self managing all the renovations (my girlfriend actually about to take the GC test so we can also pull permits ourselves).

On this next deal, my plan is to leverage my other investments, and if they tell me I need 20-25%, I am just going to go elsewhere and test the waters with a different lender.

We aren't rolling in the cashflow yet and want to start slow, so we are a bit concerned of attorney fees\retainer , but I'm almost more concerned that we are making the mistake of not having one as part of our team yet.When is a good time to get guidance from an REI legal professional?

Is it worth the $9,000 in refi costs (these would be rolled up into the new loan, thereby reducing my equity). 

We then rolled that into a flip property which we purchased in 2019.

After I passed my test I signed on with an investment minded company that specialized in multi-family properties and owned a property management company.

Maybe the cabin gods are testing my mettle in the early going?
