For larger jobs we generally send out a As-Built company to take the measurements and produce the drawings.

I know he hit me hard but is expecting a counter which a I will come back with 10% of the rehab budget for his fee.Fixed fees are rarely good for you, since the GC or guru would only do that to guarantee their income on a job they don't think will produce much they can bill you for.

I'm in a position in trying to justify the low offer due to the rehab because I want to produce a higher quality product with higher income level occupants which will justify higher rent and higher margins. 

In essence this makes every property that exists a positive cash flow investment and we can all stop wasting our time analysing properties if we place no value on our cash.To truly evaluate a income property potential if it can not produce positive cash flow with a hypothetical 100% financing it can and never will produce true positive cash flow. 

Thus, you will own two cash flow positive producing properties.One sells through a 1031 exchange because 1) they have owned a property for a long period of time and it may not have many years left to receive the benefits of depreciation expense, 2) they want to sell their existing property for an even larger property Both methods are great for scaling. 

I'd assume she isn't telling the truth if she doesn't produce one.

If the pieces come together, I contact the administrator to see if the estate wants to sell the house.The process is more time-consuming than blanket marketing, but it produces more targeted leads.

Professional fees that relate to producing or collecting taxable income or receiving tax advice are deductible. 

I'm posting as a fellow investor.They should produce a quick and dirty prospectus with most details, maybe not rent rolls, but enough to justify their price. if its even in a ballpark, make an offer with EM down.

Instead it is having tight systems and processes to produce a predictable outcome just doing the things they are supposed to.
