May I also suggest you check out Remodeling Magazine on line for their annual cost vs value report - very helpful.

@Isabel G.Ask questions of investors who are where you want to be and get busy attending networking events, seminars, etc...Magazine, this forum and books are another great source.Thanks and have a great day.

Test ad in the local paper, Craigslist (if there is a local page for your area), Penny Pincher magazine,...etc. will tell you pretty quickly if there would be demand enough to proceed. 

I’ve been where you are as a fellow New Yorker.

If you google us and find our website you will find we have an intro to KC Magazine on our home page - it has several of our members who placed ads about their turn key business as well as a business directory.  

You just have to stop looking for deals in Homes & Land magazine and get out in the streets.

Just ask Forbes magazine ;DBest of luck!

@Meghan Sullivan first of all welcome to BP from a fellow western New Yorker. 

Or if he checked the mail and was sorting through it and found one with one or 2 unknown items in it, chances are he is going to open that one FIRST...before the magazines...before the bills, probably even before scholarship letters!

@JoeGoreIm thinking of listing it with dream homes Magazine Orange County, but Im sure agents will be the primary contacts regarding the home.
