The kicker is I have my real estate license, however am not doing much with it because this job I have now came out of the blue and honestly is consuming a lot of my ways of living.I've decided I want to flip renovate and sell, for now anyways.

Saving old windows, matching old doors, re-using and refinishing door hardware... it's time consuming and requires the most expensive type of labor and HUGE amounts of administrative time dealing with the finicky networks of salvage operations necessary to get original replacements.All I'm saying is be real aware of your costs.

Because consumers generally take out only a few home loans over the course of their lives, they often rely heavily on loan officers and brokers to guide them.

Its just been so time consuming, but on that note I have learned so much about how a house works.

A Solo 401k is relatively inexpensive to set up, has a modest annual fee, minimal annual reporting, and NO OTHER FEES OF ANY KIND.

Trying to consume enough knowledge before removing the training wheels and making my first purchase.

On your propety you're looking at probably 12 houses, 1/4 acre lots as infrustructure and easements will consume the remainer.

Most builders gross the loan amount up modestly to account for uncertainty if if they're really good at budgeting.

That still leaves quite a bit of RE, and it has had septic tests run successfully.The turn off was that the town it was in doesn't have the best reputation, what with modest pretty homes mixed in with trailers and trash.

If her car is modest (doesn't mean junk, just means not "flashy") and seems to be taken care of, that's a plus.
