I truly appreciate the time and knowledge you shared; your answers were incredibly helpful.

I’m sure I could have done a better job vetting them out but I was newer and trying to with what knowledge I had at that time.  

It doesn't just skip 6 payments and tack it on at the end.When asking questions - ensure you're asking them of people who are knowledgeable in what you are asking.

I offered to NW the same price that I later got the house from, in which the second wholesaler got a great deal and it was even another agent involved in the transaction.Saying this, the agents that I am talking in NW have knowledge and they are open to communicate openly.

And as new investor, you have to expect to be charged more than a builder, but armed with a little knowledge you can get a better price than a homeowner and still allow the contractor to make good money.For most construction work materials times two is a good guesstimate, so about $6k is likely a good price. 

Don't worry about that as there are different ways to get to town and different companies might use different terminology.Work with a knowledgeable agent that talks your through your risks and don't try to conceal what you're actually doing. 

This is a place for people to gain knowledge and education and ask questions to get guidance.I have seen sites where GP’s are not allowed to comment on posts (or even see posts in some instances) that were from a ticked off investor and personally not a fan as if someone can throw shade at another person / company without any consequence and / or allow the other party to respond - I feel like it’s just another form of censorship which I oppose

To the best of my knowledge, and I am not an appraiser so I would recommend you verify this, but I have been of the understanding that there are 3 main requirements that classify a bedroom, a bedroom.

I run a real estate data venture that pulls from various private and public sources and curates these reports, so it's not a simple answer.Social Sentiment: Search demand and what people are saying online.Neighborhood Class: Cleanliness, crime, graffiti, and overall health.Demographics: Identify market segments & trends.GDP & Economic Growth: County-level GDP changes to assess economic vitality.Poverty Metrics: Analyze economic challenges.Construction Activity: Easily predict market supply.Occupational Diversity: Forecast housing & commercial needs.Education Insights: Understand community stability.Real Estate Trends: Identify property value & rental cycles.Houston was just a place where I felt like sharing some knowledge.

Just wanted to thank everyone in this fantastic community - what a wealth of knowledge you all carry!
