And time is not on my side at this point.

An alternate and cheaper plan for the door would be to change it to glass or add a glass side panel too.

Now I just need to find a great deal so that the numbers will make sense and cash flow in this hot market (easier said than done)!

good to know on that, The electricity is super expensive. heres a guesstimate on the numbers, its going to be a house hack, so Ill be living in one side, with a roommate.  

Hi Alex in my opinion the current real estate market in Big Sky is just too hot to find cash flowing long term rental properties acquired with some leverage.  

I have particular strong feelings about this, but I may be the exception.The insurance and annuities side of your business will be a very distant next area of importance for me, but for a younger person that needs to provide for a young family without other assets this might be a little higher on the list for them.There is a financial planner in my local market that will also shop insurance providers (including car, home, health and rentals) to find the best value on insurance as part of their service for their clients.

Local taxes will be one of the big things that impact the closing cost amount, but for easy calculation I estimate 3% on the buy side and 8% on the sell side.

However, it today's hot RE market that sounds too good to be true. 

If it gets even close to being hot to the touch, I'll pull the 8/2 and run 6/2.

He wants to make offers over 100 basis points off of asking price in hot markets for commercial properties.
