There is a lot happening and the investment is substantial. 

My opinion is that yes, these hours can count towards REPS before listing the house, as long as the work is substantial and consistent.

@Nathan Frost I am interpreting this as these are homes in a market that may have previously experienced some appreciation but no substantial appreciation events are expected in the foreseeable future.

Purchase price: $242,500 Cash invested: $24,250 This was my previous primary residence, I have since been able to take a substantial amount of cash out of the home.

Costs are also a bit high right now and it’s a substantial investment, likely $1000s per day to run at a scale that would be useful to the community.

Depending on where you flip, you'll need to determine whether you want to do a volume play (cheaper deals but need to do more to make substantial money) or more expensive markets where one deal can be significant. 

The value he adds to you can increase substantially and save you a ton of headache.An experienced investment broker will aid you in all aspects that come with the deal like underwriting, valuation, potential, structuring the deal, etc. 

I believe in taking matters into my own hands by strolling around the property alone to have a firsthand look at the exteriors and analyze the general condition.During these inspections, I pay close attention to important details like drainage, brick or siding condition, sidewalks, and even resident profiles.

This revelation prompted me to reconsider the purchase, as it indicated financial instability and substantial building repair needs.

We are 30 years old and just getting started on our adventure of building substantial side income over the next 10 years.
