Scope it! I would add that the age of the property is completely irrelevant and no assumptions should be made. I was the buyer’s agent for a sale last week for a home built in 2002. The sewer line had a 30 foot span that was not supported underneath and the line looked like a banana! $150 sewer scope saved my buyer $15k. 

@Joe Splitrock I saw people from another conference and their badges had two clips near the sides for the lanyard rather than having one center swivel clip.

@Kam Mill Great job on your first acquisition! Advice going forward.

1. Keep taking action toward that long term goal.

2. Your main focus with the rehab should be tenant proofing this investment. Your rehab costs are very low. These should not be thought of how can I get this completed for the least of money out of pocket. Do a proper high quality update now with the most most durable, longest lasting materials. Spend more upfront and you will have less headache and out of pocket expenses now. Darren Sager in Bigger Pockets is an expert in this area.

3. Look into LVT flooring, make sure your toilets are not low end Home Depot. It doesn’t matter if they were installed yesterday. If they are low quality, you will eventually have problems with them.

4. After a quality rehab your property will appraise higher and you can pull out more cash. Based on the numbers you provided, it looks like you can already pull out about 10k. That would likely go up with a better renovation.

Read about the BRRR strategy on the forums.

That’s all for now. Great job and hit me up anytime.

A realtor that is truly an expert in New York real estate contracts and has strong negotiatiug skills will be worth their fee. They will know the best inpectors and contractors in your market. Lean on their expertise to find out exactly the condition of the property to negotiate repairs and final sales price accordingly. 

Just an FYI. I waited to book my room at the resort and they are not longer offering the conference rate during the conference.😳

@khizarhanif @mistyevans I purchased my ticket after the Sunday night event sold out and would like to meet up on Sunday evening as well. Please let me know.

Hi Brad, 

I was searching for recommendations for a CRM. It seems like the market has become cluttered. Thanks for the quick overview of some you have tried. I have been utilizing real estate for investing for a few years. I got my real estate license at the end of last year with the goal of leaving my corporate job and working real estate full time. I am testing out pipe drive currently but I am not liking it. I am looking for easy import and export of contacts,  integration with Google, and a setup that doesn't take very long. Custom does seem like the best way to start for me. Any suggestions for an agent specific CRM.
