But if you can dedicate the time to your real estate endeavors doing things in house will be much more beneficial (and less expensive).I know all four of these cities well.Feel free to send me a PM if you have any questions or feel free to just reach out and share what you decide!  

I'd focus on getting more applicants and not on trying to transform a chronic later-payer.

I'm working on one right now and it's great fun to see it transform from an ugly duckling to a contemporary, cool place to live.I was recently in Houston during 5 o'clock traffic on a Friday.

In REI, as in life, it usually takes time to get the wheels turning and the big bucks to roll in, so I feel that putting a 3 month deadline on your endeavors won't get you much money.

It’s help to completely transform my life and goals.

Well wishes on your REI endeavors and happy holidays to you.Kudos,Mary

I am looking to assign this deal because I am too in experienced to take on such an endeavor.

Everyone promotes their endeavors like they are the best thing since sliced bread.With a last name of Murphy, and knowing how Murphy's Law works, I'd like to know from your experiences.Thank you 

It is a high risk endeavor as there are costs to construct, the $90-$110 per SW ft number but also the soft costs which are tap on fees, permitting, erosion control, appliances for kitchens if you provide those.

, which I'm convinced more and more that it would be a worthwhile endeavor to keep it and make it work for me to buy another property, what would be my options as far as borrowing against it for the new property, the duplex, whilst hopefully simultaneously making my loan on it more palatable if you will?
