I completely redid the back yard landscaping putting in a retaining wall, irrigation and lighting.

I'm a student of Ron Legrand's brand of real estate investment strategy that lends itself to moderate to complex transaction types such as; wrap loans, subject-to purchases, option leases, and contract for deed.

Being brand new to the scene of real estate investing, I have decided to take the next step and start meeting agents.

I'm currently withholding 8% for CapEx, am I wrong to withhold 5% if all items are brand new?

What is a "decent" commute to you, and is that by car or light rail? 

I recently inherited $20k, and I have an additional $25k accessible in savings for a down payment, closing costs, and some light renovations if needed.

It would be awesome to get options and brands from those who have gone before!!

On the brokerage side, if you can educate clients on their options and ability to use the state VA loan in addition to the federal, you’ll be light years ahead of other folks.

It would be awesome to get some opinions of what kind of flooring and brands from those who have gone before!!!

@Brandon Cooper thanks for the reply, this property is brand new construction.
