I make a list of every possible thing I need to include in a Rehab and develop a ruff Rehab cost (I add an additional 20% just in case).  

@Justin Grant Just a couple of thoughts. 1.

@Justin Owens @Doug McVinua - Thanks guys! 

Justin,Gotha is a great area adjacent to Windermere.

Thank you Jay Orlauski for putting such an amazing event together.Also, big vouch for Brad Roltgen.Jason Pritchard (Pinnacle Investments)You sparked my mind w/ marketing strategies.Doug Dart (Sayland PM).Al Williamson (Leading Landlord).Justin Vecchiarelli (Sutton Hague).Rob Boese (Boese Commercial).And all others who spoke.

It's a little scary seeing I'm paying the cost of the condo just in interest after 30 years.With that said, if I want to buy another property in the next 5 years should I focus on paying down the mortgage on this current property?

@Justin R.

You'll want to drive all the streets of a neighborhood looking  for homes that have signs of vacancy (tall grass in the summer, or non-plowed driveways in winter), or are just in poor condition.Then look up the owner information via public records and try to make contact one way or another.

@Justin Craver- Thanks!

@Justin Johnson I agree with what @Jeff Copeland states in his reply.
