Looks like these kind of events really do bring people together and are a good reminder to us about what really matters in life - its really easy to forget these important life truths when everything is going well, sometimes too well :)This might be an insensitive question again due to the recent hurricane, but are there any local meetups that you would recommend that might happen between the 21st-28th of Sept?  

-Does a LLC or Corp not fit into the 1 loan rule?

Apparently the court even made a ruling to keep it dissolved.

The beautiful thing about building your own, is that it's easy to make adjustments to, down the road.  

My wife and are in the moment considering what you and your wife did. we built 3 years ago, and a house like mine just sold for 190k which we purchased for 150k. and since we lived in it for over 2 years im looking into the capital gains rule, super exciting stuff to learn.which i have way more upgrades plus the corner lot with an awesome back yard.

Here in Houston gurus, new investors, old investors, established investors all talk about the 70% rule and how in order to get a profit the "numbers" is what matters.

Thank you @NaDean Bowles I've been doing a ton of research in this commercial space and new rules for establishing values (differing from residential)...I'm just finding it hard to believe that NOI going from 37k/yr to 63k/yr by doing some fix up,raising rents and passing off utilities to tenants on a 635k property 5.5cap will result in a 500k bump in value($1.1mil)..sounds good on paper, I guess i'm still yet to believe it will be validated by a bank or buyer...but according to what I'm reading and learning, it should be close to that.

HI Michael, So that 2 yr property management holds true for some lenders like wells fargo ( I just left there) but where I'm at now no you dont need it. what we would do if you dont have a lease agreement already lined up is order a investment property appraisal and the appraiser would determine what the rental market is there. if that doesn't work we have a portfolio lender as a plan B that will most likely do it as they don't play by fannie and freddies rules. 

It's the easy button.

There is no easy path to absorbing all the knowledge necessary.
