I took out a mortgage through the builders lending company DHI Mortgage but have since paid it off in full with the proceeds from the sale of my home in Maryland last year.How did you add value to the deal?

There are companies/agents that specialize in what you are looking for.  

I’ll have this place more than 50% paid off and will see how the rental market fairs before adding leverage.  

I typically look for properties to flip but I am talking to an off market seller that seems like a good buy and hold opportunity but I have no idea how to run the numbers for rentals. 

The management is fully remote and the U-Haul is only a drop off and pickup that is managed by U-Haul.

If you do not have the means to pay off a loan that did get called, then you should think twice about it. 

The earlier you start in your RE journey, the better off you will be in the future.

Any creative ways to kick off the licensure w/o yet holding property?

If you make less and if you can pull it off, then be a weekend warrior.

I've been searching for a while here on BP but have not found a thread related to my situation:I've been renovating and renting a property for just over 2 years and may be in a position to sell/close in the next 30-60 days.I am trying to cut-off major projects at this time to make a clean break, however we have committed to replacing windows in one of the units (windows are already ordered), with total project lead-time of 45-60 days (windows have been hard to get for the past year).In the event we have a closing date PRIOR to window installation, how should we handle paying the contractor?
