I have a 2 bed/2 bath cabin with a pool table currently in a small game room.

The whole buying cash thing is a personal preference, but some would argue what you're doing is actually riskier leaving all that equity on the table. 

As I stated we are simply waiting for the appraisal and new survey and we did all the foot work ourself for the most part besides some basic counsel on the contract from our attorney I did not use a real estate agent (learning a lot), and I did use hard money (already have two potential banks that will refi), any last minute advice before we get to the closing table?

Obvious, but has a seat at the discussion table.2.

So, a 203k loan is off the table for now.Here's our new basic strategy: Purchase an off market property at a discount (duh) using our cash and hard money Rehab (Using a contractor) with our cash and hard money to force appreciation  Cash out refinance, pay back hard money and initial cash investment Live in one unit and rent out the rest Repeat.Specific Questions: If you have invested in Tallahassee yourself, what are the challenges?

We built the island top out to function as a bar since there was not much room for a dining table.

However as I stated I think there are a few in the caroloinas that do these factory homes crane them up. out our way the closest thing wood be the Log home manufactures or the custom Cedar built mountain cabins that can be quite expensive..

I have an opportunity to purchase a 4/3 property in the town of Black Mountain, NC, just outside of Asheville, NC.We have the intent of renting this property out short term and occasionally using it as a vacation spot.I was hoping to get some input and opinions on the financials of this deal to ensure my head is not just in the cloud and that it actually has the ability to pay for itself and potentially provide some cash flow.

But for a partnership or mentoring, I say what are you bringing to the table?
