The length of time before actual foreclosure would range from a little as 21 days in Texas to “years” in New Jersey and New York, and many other “judicial” foreclosure states.  

My main concern now is the unfinished porch.I'm receiving bids that are all over the map: some are as low as $1,300 for labor, while others range from $4,000 to $10,000.

Real estate has a vast array of different strategies, instead of timing the market, consider your goals, what is available to you, and what makes sense both in the current market cycle, but also long-term.

Here it ranges from $35 to $55.

The renovation plan was executed and occupancy is in the 94-96% range; rents at or above the pro forma. 

Most of the properties I bought are in the "high end of the low end" range, and none are on or near the water, which helped a lot.

Does anyone have an idea of the average CAP rate (or a range) for larger apartment buildings in Price George's County or surrounding counties.  

Should I just sell the renovated home and the lots and take the win, or manage the building of the duplexes and go for a bigger win over the mid-range (while taking on the risk that things go badly or the market shifts)?

I have had this goal of buying my first duplex and have talked to real estate investors, realtors, lenders, appraisers and have been encouraged so much to where I am anxious to dive into this.Now that I am 18 I have absolutely no debt, a credit score of 727, I have 28k sitting in a certificate of deposit, a couple years of working consistently under my belt, I’ve also been investing in my Roth IRA, I feel very blessed to be in this situation.I am still in high school, I know it wouldn’t be smart to buy a house right now but something in me is so anxious to buy this house I know I have to have patience but I don’t know if I should start the process of getting pre approved, finding a good investor friendly realtor, lender, preparing my documents or if I should just wait.When analyzing deals in my market I have crystal clear real estate deal criteria my strategy is house hacking a duplex, price range of 500,000-600,00 in Salt lake, Utah! 

Areas like Canggu, Seminyak, and Ubud are prime spots with solid ROI potential.To give you some rough numbers:•Average PP (Purchase Price) for villas can range from $200K to $500K, depending on the location and amenities.
