How do you typically handle unexpected costs or delays in your real estate projects?

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.

Got a buddy out there that is a solid realtor, and I could connect you to get a better gauge if you need it. 

DSCR loans are based off of down payment, credit score and either actual or market rents so it helps to supercharge an investor's real estate goals and net worth.

If you're going after fix and flips then you'll need real estate-flip loans which are short term and high interest - in which case they care more about the property/deal than how leveraged you are (but they do still care, along with how much cash you're bringing into the deal) 3 - Similar question, same answers above. 4 - Yes... sitting on the market for 4 months is weird UNLESS that's the norm in the area.

Small business owners that I am aware of (not real estate), who didn’t have business accounts, EIN, and such set up prior to the COVID relief funds weren’t eligible to even apply.Please let us know what you ended up doing.Also, thank you @David M. for posting that link.

Anyone looking to connect, chat and see how we can help each other's business I'd love to meet up!

I've had a career in engineering, banking, international insurance and real estate investing and loved all of it.

The Midwest often flies under the radar in real estate discussions, but savvy investors are taking notice of this region's immense potential.
