Isaac , this is a very ambitious project my friend.I would start with Bildwise ,they have extensive experience in this market,and contractors they use all the time,which gives them consistency.They can probably ball park it for you first and then do a detailed sow if you choose .Disclaimer :I have no affiliation with BildwisePlease keep us in the loop with progress 

In this world of go, go, go, we are easily sidetracked, and we find ourselves very busy yet not necessarily making any progress.

Hi  everyone, I am a new wholesale investor in the Cedar Rapids area in which I have my first deal in progress and I am wondering if you know of any real estate attorneys with knowledge of wholesaling to create a legal wholesale assignment contract to get my first property under contract?

I would recommend looking into West Kensington, Frankford, and Port Richmond-  You can still find great deals there withe excellent cashflow, and I believe the path of progress will continue to march into those areas and increase values. 

Judge will give you time as long as you're demonstrating progress along the way.

Although, we have a general contract for any work, neither of us signs it - I pay him as the work progresses.

With a full-service property management company, you should be focused on establishing an annual budget and periodic update calls to track the progress. 

More to follow on the progress.

I am fairly new here and hope you don't mind but, I hear @Brandon Turner say all the time how BP isn't always used to it's full potential so, I hope you use BP for more than just showing us your progress and realize how helpful it can be.

I live in Bayonne and have seen progress towards positive change since moving here (luxury apartment complexes, ferry, Costco, Military Ocean Terminal redevelopment, bike share, park improvements).
