My original intention was to flip the property and use the proceeds to help purchase a small multi-family home but am now considering holding the Single Family property as a rental.  

My thoughts are that the $1,000 cash flow will cover all of these in excess.

He knew I had a good eye for things that helps sales, so he asked if I could take a look at it to give them a few tips.

Bank - used another property with equity to minimize my down payment to $5,000.00 How did you add value to the deal?

Meaning I put in my pocket the 20%?

My failures are my own are my best (and most expensive) lessons. 

I installed it and painted with exterior paint and caulked all seems in my showers.. looks good.

I guess my question is whether there are services that would do this type of analysis? 

I asked him what he thought about me continuing to pay down my mortgages which I have been doing for the past 3 years.

I am in the process of getting my contractors license, and i could have it in a matter of months.
