Also, where can I buy low cost blinds that are decent quality? 

Hi Shawn-Congratulations on starting out on your real estate investing career.You have a question about whether it is good to have your real estate license or not as an investor and you are leaning toward multifamily investing.I personally think having your real estate license is helpful as an investor.Having your real estate license allows you to work with other investors to help them build their portfolios which helps expand your network while being productive, you can research market value more effectively, find out about deals before they are listed, and of course it allows you to collect the commission on purchasing any listed property.To Your Success!

Once you decide which type of exchange you want to do, you could then narrow down your product / company. 

Then, obtain quotes from at least three actual contractors. ( insurance and all that depending on the work)You'll likely encounter three types of contractors:The Super Expensive Guy: Highly skilled but often in high demand, resulting in premium pricing.The Average Guy: Offers good quality work at a reasonable price.

This can help you greatly with the additional depreciation.Ultimately, med to large MF and small 2-4s are totally different products. 

@Danielle Tran, if its not in the lease they cannot make you stop selling those products.

Even if your GC is decent was able to get your job done in 100 days, if it doesn't resemble the comps in quality then your 300k exit is now 270k and with all the exit costs and holding costs your 40k expect profit is now under 10k. 

As someone who deals and talks to real Private Lenders (small shops run by a guy who lends his own capital and doesn't use big box), they have a hard and fast business model that produces the rate of return they need to remain profitable and curb the risk on their cash.So the best product for a budding fix and flip investor is the bridge loan which includes acquisition money and construction money. 

The products they sell are almost always counterfeits or not as described and the land they sell/finance are worthless.

Based on the quality of the video, their ability to adjust based on our request and overall communication styles we picked 2.
