I haven't talked to a building company since I am just currently browsing potential properties and analyzing them to get some more experience doing the calculations.But I can't really analyse any deals without knowing how much the refurbishment costs are going to be.I would like to know, what should be on the snagging list to make this into a proper kitchen and also what the approximate costs would be do to all of that.Property details:2 Bed / 1 BathroomCurrent offer: 110.000 PoundsARV: 166.300 PoundsEstimated repair costs: 20.000 Pounds (not sure if this is accurate AT ALL)Offer I am putting out: 96.410 Pounds (based on the 70% rule)Rent: 1000 Pounds per calender month (2 tenants sharing the house, 500 each)The property is located in an area with 3 universities and a hospital, so I figured there would be a good chance for letting this house out with 2 tenants (correct me if I am wrong).Here are the calculations that I have learned on my 3 day property investing seminar (UK based) and have implemented in my calculation spread sheet below.Please comment on the calculations if you see something missing or find odd.

I have been listening to the podcasts and browsing the site for a month or so and am impressed with level of knowledge and the culture of the community here on BP.Being from north of the border I do get jealous when I hear some of the prices available in some markets of the U.S. but I do keep reminding myself to be happy with the raging economy and 1% vacancies of my home town in Edmonton.

First thing I would do is do a BP Pod-cast marathon, read a few books on REI & browse the forum & blogs here on BP.  

I've been browsing this website and have found a ton of information and we have a realtor that has been sending us some property listings.

Off-market properties sent to me by brokers.Step 2: Browse: through the results from step 1 in the form of daily alerts and emails to see what properties seem like good candidates. 

I think its a neat concept, but I personally will not throw more money than I could afford to lose into it in the meantime (just like if I were at the casino, although I am not too shabby at blackjack ;).

According to my records, they have ZERO foreclosures and the SEC is investigating whether they filed things appropriately which can be disputed here....https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?

I was browsing around and notice there are many many multiunits in Buffalo NY in the range of $9000-Anything.

I am not much of a gambler...heck, whenever I end up at a casino (with friends or a group that goes there) I lose all of my money at the bar.

Most are buying condos in the casinos and condo hotels.
