Do you have plans of future meetups?

@Daniel Haberkost

I will check out a local meetup and start networking. Thanks Daniel.

@Daniel Haberkost

1. I’m searching for homes that have sold in the last 90 days in the same zip. I set the square footage range from a couple hundred below to a couple hundred above the subject  house. I’ll search for the same bed and bath count. If I do a rehab, should I find comps that have also been rehabbed?

2. I’ve been mainly focusing on flips.

3. Rehab estimates have been a guessing game so far. I still need to do some research in that area.

I haven’t been to a local meetup in a while. Do you recommend one I should check out?

@Tim Herman 

I’ve used the fix and flip calculator the most but have used the rental a few times. I believe I factored 5% for vacancy, 7% for cap expenditures, 10% for maintenance, management fee 10%, 30 year loan at 4%. I just don’t know how to figure a hard money loan in there. I guess on rehab as well. 
I understand guessing will bite me in the *** but that’s how I’ve been doing it up to this point.

@Daniel Haberkost
I'm not sure about ARV. I'll run comps but don't know how accurate I am. I also don't know if I'm way off on holding costs. Rehab is a bit of a crap shot as well. Even though I've been guessing, I still enjoy running the numbers and looking at houses.
I have noticed it’s slim pickings here I n the Austin market. As a result, I’ve been looking in the Houston area and mainly using realtor.com.

Good morning BP,

I've been analyzing deals like crazy since I became a pro member couple weeks back. I've got my real estate license so I've been using the MLS but also realtor.com, Zillow, and Redfin. What other places should I be looking for homes? Also, I don't really know what I'm doing and would be extremely grateful if someone could take a look at a deal or two I've run numbers on. Thanks in advance and happy Friday BP fam.
