I have read the very helpful BP posts from @MikeHartzog @DionDePaoli and @DaveVanHorn and others to get familiar with the process, but now that I'm executing a transaction I find that I need clarity/guidance about a couple of the next steps .

Hello everyone I am also new and was wanting to know if I could get a mortgage loan with a credit score in the upper 500s I'm self-employed first time buyer does anyone  know if I would qualify I would rather do L/O than wholesales the wholesaling thing u need to know people u can sell to quick or if u know how long it takes to build a score thank you 

What we read over several blogs is,1. if we have to take out plumbing and electrical permit, we have to have a building permit2. if we ourselves take out permit then we are responsible for all the work and insurance etc.I will definitely call the building dept

And if you listen to some $100M advice you find the reality of earning a million per year is hard work all the time, i.e. work 80 hours per week, read 10 books per month, grow your business and brand in the same industry for at least 10 years, cut spending (which you can do), etc.I've been hustling for over 25 years and have yet to come across any significant passive income streams.

@Yossi Cohen Read as many books as possible for the first few months.

Must have references that are positive, employer that is positive (or verifiable consistent income), 1st last and security, and complete background and credit check.

I am in Texas on a TAR contract and my contract reads that a move in move out form is required to be turned in by the tenants two days after commencement date. 

I currently do not have an issue but have been doing a lot of reading it is kinda difficult to interpret laws and such when reading them.
