Ideally, it only means being able to take slimmer deals when juicier opportunities dry up.  

DRY VENT TERMINATION MISSING FLAPS (LOUVERS) AND PIPE DISCONNECTED FROM TERMINATION.

Either a dry-lok type product if moisture is an issue or regular paint suitable for concrete.The flooring is something I am running into problems with.  

The whole process is not cut and dry as you might expect.With that being said my PM did their due diligence when rent was late by posting notices right away and calling tenants immediately.

I have dried up my private and portfolio lending options and cannot secure a conventional mortgage because I do not have a W-2 job.  

I have a dry erase marker ready so as i get to know Broward area more i could mark areas i like and areas i don't like.

I semi held out and I played I am a lender card and I owe this amount and can't take any less to clear the loan because I had assigned my beneficial interest to my commercial bank and they would not take a short pay  Blah Blah blah.. and they paid we enough to get whole on the loan.. where as if it was fair market I would have probably taken a 50% hair cut.just stick to your price if you think they need you...

It is an FHA loan with 3.5% down (a hair under 14k). 

To offset these negative cashflows, i plan on building out the portfolio a little cautiously/slowly right now and sit on some dry powder for when the opportunities are lying around on the streets....   

Your investor friend was right to tell you to consider your future, as I was a hair stylist once, and as soon as carpal tunnel (sorry if misspelled) set in, then I knew I had to find something different!
