:P So I was just... doing... a thing... that I'm making up... as I go along... let's just duct tape this here, screw that into that other thing, use a little glue on the whatsit thingie, draw a smiley face on it for luck... and then I'm going to push this button, and then... boom, loan funded, deal closed, happy day.

I am an investor-minded realtor here in Fort Wayne and would be happy to help in any way that I can.

Just by way of example, if an otherwise happy tenant leaves over a $25 rent increase and you incur vacancy cost of $375 and turn cost of $300, then it will take you 27 months to make up the costs through higher rents.Of course, the higher the rent increases you are planning to implement, the shorter the time to make up these costs, and at some point it becomes worthwhile.Good luck with the deal!

I've invested over $100K over the last year with POL and am happy with the investments.  

Happy to network, I help accredited investors buy into institutional grade $50-125M projects with as little as $100,000 and diversify.

Communicate with your contractor often, do your research, visit the project regularly, and pay all your bills on time, and hopefully you'll build a strong partnership/relationship that you're both happy with at the end of the project.Good luck!

If there is anything we can do for you with these regards, we are happy to share our professional services if it means adding value to a transaction.  

For now, I am happy with 10%.Thanks for taking the time to dig in to the details here.
