We are called "Fresno Deal Seekers Meetup"http://www.meetup.com/Fresno-Deal-Seekers-Meetup/I would love it if you could join us for a daytime meetup  - I had previously read your profile before  and some of your awesome posts.

My current plan is to exit active and go back to school while working for my cousin who is a contractor so I can learn about improving homes.

Anyone else have experience using lightstream for a home improvement loan.

I really recommend improving your credit if you can help it.

Anything I can do to improve my plan? 

I actually followed your companies Instagram before I even had a profile on biggerpockets. 

This is a ridiculous set up for a bathroom, but I don't have a huge budget to improve this but I know its not something the tenant is going to want to deal with.

i wouldnt sell a 1F or 2F to buy another of the same- unless it was to cash in on improvements made and/or reduce investment/risk in any 1 property/county - especially with impending socioeconomic collapse at least in usa

It took about 2 weeks, I was then approved for $24K in the form of 3 credit cards all with a 0% interest rate for at least one year on all purchases as well as the ability to do balance transfers.They have a system in which they feed your profile that gives them the names of the banks and investors with highest percentage for your approval, then they only make application to them.  

When rates are increasing over a cycle, it's usually because employment and lending conditions are improving, optimism improving, more cash on hand, oftentimes more than offsetting higher rates.What I think we can say with a high level of certainty, is that in any given economic backdrop, lower rates would very likely cause higher prices, and higher rates would very likely cause otherwise lower prices.
