I just want to get the contract faxed to the seller, and get the ball officially rolling.

So we formed a partnership based on he will fund projects and I'll do the rest of the work.

I am very passionate about Real Estate business as I have seen and heard several success stories and I definitely don't want to work 13 hours a day, 5 days a week, for the rest of my life.

Example: from 1bd condo to 2bd condo makes sense or maybe even 1 bd condo to 4 plex where you'll occupy one unit and rent the rest, however moving from a 3 bedroom home to a 4 plex may require a very strong LOE - letter of explanation or your file may be declined for occupancy issues - vacating a current primary that does not have atleast 30% equity based on current market value may require you to qualify for both the vacated primary and the new proposed subject property as well with out allowing you to use your rental income as an offset for your property you're currently vacating.

All the rest of the laws pertain to interest rates and loan features.

I should really know a lot by now. lol Now that I find myself in my senior years and not wanting to work in my 40-hour-per-week job for the rest of my life, it's time to revisit my old love...real estate!

As far as the marketing goes, I'm chalking this first deal up to beginners luck as the rest of the calls I have gotten, have not panned out.

Landlord must show proof of cost estimate for replacing the carpet (~ $300) and must return the rest to the tenant.

Most times when dealing with a new inspector or city official, I've found you humble yourself, grovel, stroke their ego and they treat you well, even become friendly & helpful.

The rest of the house will be cool but there was a major difference as you walked upstairs to the bedroom.
