I sat through the rest of his speech, as he did intertwine a useful bit of information here and there, but that was usually followed by his "$2,400 PACKAGE OF MATERIALS THAT HE WAS SELLING FOR ONLY $499"!

I think all of this is not in his world and not part of what he knows.He can continue to help us with our ROTHs/IRAs and other traditional investments and I will handle the rest ;)And just so everyone knows- the reason we hired him was because I I don't have time to research our investments and where to put X amount of dollars and move this, save this...yada yadda.

Would going to a hard money lender for the rest of the money and paying for the house in cash be a good option?

The rest are apartment buildings with ages ranging from 45 - 70 years old.These are the metrics I use to run my business.

That could be enough to get them to negotiate on the rest.

To repair this would require measures to replace the wood, re-stain to match the rest of the floor, and deodorizing.

The ones who actually did it found one, the rest didn't!

Now on the other hand (which happens to be my luck) you have the one looking for a fireplace, deck, all the upgrades and the rest is down hill as far as them maintaining the property etc.

Have a great rest of your week.

I am in a good place mentally, it is the rest that is the challenge up front.
