I'm certainly not going to sit down and create an excel spreadsheet on these forums.

Networking and building relationships with buyers/investors is my focus at the moment..

Develop a relationship of trust with them and over time it will pay off big for you.Good luck!

While a contractor should be able to afford the materials up front many haven't managed their cash reserves well enough.The bottom line is that you both don't know each other and haven't had the relationship built to trust further.

Your plan to keep your residence currently is excellent plan.

I recomend we begin building a relationship and get to know who we are and what we bring to the table.

excellent points....I kind of forgot that the HELOC rate could change....mine has a locking option as of yet, so that could help me hedge my bets...thanks for the reply.

My best success has come from using lenders who we have a prior relationship with (assuming they have not capped themselves for the rest of the remaining year).

Excellent I knew that, but just needed to be reminded.

The prevailing cap rates may differ from one part of a city to another, and from one type of property to another.The purpose of a cap rate is to express the relationship between an income-property's NOI and its value.
