I've been the breadwinner for my family (it's just my wife and I) and she is stepping up saying she'll be getting a job to support my real estate goals!

I agree with you and have found another property that is not a slam dunk but we think it fits our goals and needs and hopefully all works out in the end.  

Either way, what is your goal here - do you want them out, are they paying less than expected, telling you they had a higher security deposit, etc?

We have the goal to focus on flipping single family homes until we build enough cash to buy large building with 4+ units. 

We were targeting a cash on cash return > 11% so these new terms do not meet our goals.  

I choose to pay my pmi up front in full at closing.

But we all have different goals.  

I'm interested in purchasing multi-family buildings as well as hard money lending and possibly doing some private 1st mortgage residential loans..My goal is to buy one multi-family building a year.

Hey BP,My goal is to hear some advice and/or pointers on what has worked for people with experience in what their advice is.Background:I'm a Carpenter in Northern California working for a General Contractor totaling 40Hrs-60hrs a week My current work is mainly Tenant Improvements/Remodels, In the past I've done custom homes as well.I'm sole provider at the moment for my family and am saving what I can though it probably wont be significant for InvestingIssues (oppurtunities):Dont have much capital 5000-10,000 - Saving about 500 a month Dont have GC license yet - Will have GC license in November 2017Will have Construction Project Management Cert early 2018 (March)I'm looking to be proactive and find an oppurtunity to enter real estate investing with a sustainable stratgegy.Current thoughts:- I can work full time and get jobs on the side to add to capital power - wholesale remotly, with savings?

It will hopefully hit the 5 yr goal in 2 years, but still working on it.
