Then I finally just picked one, where I had found a solid agent, and PM and within a month I was closed on a property producing me $400 a month in cash flow.

@Nick C.I think you hit the nail on the head.

Either way, this would allow you to perform under the contract to close on time.Who knows, maybe the builder will delay a final time and your scheduling conflict will not be an issue any longer.Best of luck to you!

Hey guys I'm in a bit of a pickle, I'm finally ready to invest in real estate, part of me wants to sell but if I can refinance and move someone in that'll be cool too.

I finally sold to a backup offer, for asking price – therefore a 7% loss compared to the initial offer.

Yes, I know I have to get my finances in order and work on my credit, those are the no-brainers, the reality is...If I keep waiting on everything to be "perfect" I'll be retired finally celebrating my first property. 

SCOTUS finally managed to get something right.

To each his own.One final note, getting permits here in CA is a nightmare, especially since COVID.

I finally decided to refinance.

I have existing plans that I have been modifying along with a staff draftsman at my builder’s company, but I need a really good architect to review these drawings and make some design comments or redlines before I finalize them.
