I'm looking at it from an asset protection, and business standardization framework.---- I'm looking at creating a C-Corp for my Property management company (or LLC)---- When I purchase additional properties, I'd like to consider purchasing them in individual LLC'sCan one purchase properties in personal names, but then run properties thru a management company; thereby, having some form of asset protection (running the $ thru a C-Corp).Just curious if any of you agree/disagree with this approach?

I'm in NY state.The book gives cost ranges for each of the individual rehab tasks, but certainly won't tell you how much things will cost in your specific area, using your specific contractors, working on one specific house with a specific set of finishes at a specific time of year given your specific ability to negotiate.As that last statement implies, no book can ever give that information...That said, the purpose of the book is to provide a framework for how to learn to estimate rehab costs, how to generate bids and how to put it all together so that you understand the process of creating a rehab estimate.
