When I see houses in C areas in need of rehab being advertised as 150 a square foot by wholesalers as well as on the MLS, it makes me realize it will likely be slim pickings for a while.   

Close to 30% of my reno budget for my 800 square foot apartment.

Electrical outlet is only a few feet away.Just to confirm the standard anode is usually 3-5 feet long making it very hard to replace when the HWT is sitting on a 1 foot stool, correct?

I'm trying to get my foot in the game as a real estate agent and investor in NC.

You can add services and upsells the clients foot the bill for, like spa/massage/private chef rather than pouring more capital into the property.  

I like the idea of charging by the square foot.

Hopefully, the footings won't need to be addressed!

Im a very vanilla investor, and not well versed in different finance options but it seems like an acceptable, but not ideal, option for getting your foot in the door with low initial funds/experience and very little effort.

Ask what the average price per square foot houses sell at in those areas, or what a multifamily property sells for.

How DO you get your foot in the door?
