In construction your plans are your Bible, so you need to know how to locate any discrepencies, locate answers to questions froms trades, understanding "Take-offs" with your materials, and be able to visualize in a 3D space what the plans are describing.

Quote from @Ian Hutton: Quote from @Jay Hurst: Quote from @Ian Hutton: Hey everyone thanks for the feedback, I did forget to mention I plan on buying more properties (which is why I’d like to reduce my debt) let me know if that changes any answers, but sounds like paying off the 88k 6.4% interest is the way to go  If you plan on buying new properties do not pay off any debt.

You didn't mention where you are operating, but depending on average home prices, I think you'll be ok.For instance if we're talkin $500k homes, and if you will get a 2.5% commission, split that 50/50 with your Broker, you will end up with $6,250 per sale, right?
