Knowing a ball park figure can help me pick a price I will see if the homeowner will accept because there is alot of needed work)What kind of project planning should I do to make this an efficient project and reduce cost but keep quality?

What quality neighborhoods are you thinking of?

It might help you out if you're a hammer swinger type guy who can produce workmen like quality results versus homeowner DIY results.Someone who has been in this business for awhile , and brings a lot more knowledge , and contacts to the deal we'll have a lot better chance at performing a turn around on the property then to someone who is new and inexperienced. 

@Wendy JiangBe honest and say no as mold testing is typically only done when there are visual signs of mold and has never been any signs or complaints.There are many factors outside of mold that can contribute to breathing problems.I would offer that if you wish I can order a hygienist to come to teat for toxic mold - but if it’s found to be negative the costs for the testing would be at your expense.

How do you typically balance cost versus quality when outfitting a property?

I'm not the person to answer your primary question on the quality of investment opportunity - but I'm sure other will chime in.  

Between Investing and breastfeeding I Had upgraded my business and started also consulting business owners about visual content.2021 I launched my marketing agency ‘The visualistit’ and thought business owners who have great ideas and want recognition - to market themselves and their businesses through videos on social, and feel really comfortable in front of the camera.In 2022 I did my third investment, this time in Israel, my country, 1076 sqft, remodeled it with contractors and rented it.2024 it is stronger than me 🙂 I decided to do real estate full timeI realized that I really love real estate because I love many parts of it,first it’s a people business, and for me that’s almost the best part :) Second, it's a creative business, from rehab and design to creative financing.

@Lavette Reid Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

I think the best way to learn about syndications and to find quality investment partners is to join a Community.This type of investing is long-term, illiquid and completely out of your control.  

so much private land has been logged and replanted since then.. in those days we would buy a 40 lets say for 150k  take 200k of timber off of it then sell the land on contract for same price then hypothicate the note to pull out more cash rinse repeat.. we also would use our logging roads and staging areas stratigically so when we left the roads were in the right place to do a 4 way lot split and the landings/stagging areas became the building pads.. in the NW permits for logging are not tough.. in those days it was over the counter and there was nothing you needed to do with regard to excavation.. however if I just bought the land and wanted to put in roads and pads then I would have had to get a grading permit and all the survey and engineering that went with it.. its was really something how we did that.. and I miss it to this day.. the other item that made it so profitable was Japan was paying premium for Export quality doug fir logs.. you could get double or more for export logs.
