Hello Bigger Pockets Community,My fiancé and I are beginning our real estate investment journey but we live and work in one of the most expensive markets in the world - even though we are 20 minutes from San Francisco there is not a property in our city listed at under 1 million (yes).So I recently took a trip to Costa Rica for the sole purpose of identifying regions we would like to invest in and ended up finding a fantastic little condo for our starter property.

I am now trying to decide if its worth the extra $1000 for the upgrade with full solid wood, painted, AND soft close.  

Austin market is out of my price range and looking at investing back in my home town (Single family/Multifamily).

It sounded like a solid idea to me so I signed up for an upcoming three day event.

Been investing in mobile homes since 2007. 

If solid comps are showing 120k, you should be good, "if" you have solid rehab numbers.When I run numbers for a flip, I take the worst case scenario on everything, then if I still have 20k profit(after commissions, holding costs, insurance, closing assistance) I will proceed. 

Hey Tyler, congrats on digging in and drilling into details for funding your first home & investment!

But this example shows how this leverage can work for you and accelerate your investment returns.
