My current relatively long term goals are to own at least 2 rental properties by the end of my senior year.Recently, a good friend of mine whom is also a Business Major at CSULB has informed me that the condo (3bedrooms 2baths 2 car garage and fireplace) that he has lived in for over a year now with 2 other roommates is up for sale by the owner and is willing to sell it to us for $200k-250k.

Over HALF the winter house fires here are either wood burning stoves or fireplaces.

We always disable, or remove, wood burning fireplaces or stoves in our rental properties.

- 2nd living room with no heat source besides gas powered fireplace (it looks like it was an addition, and yes it has two fireplaces) - no other heat source any fixes?

Can three season rooms have a heating source, like a gas fireplace?

To my surprise the seller left the refrigerator, washing machine, Hoover vacuum cleaner, a jar of pennies probably $25 a plant on the fireplace with a card addressed to the new owner wishing me much happiness in the new home.

Damage due to the fire was contained to the two story wall where the fireplace was located, and was somewhat minimal considering the situation.

If you flip one house after another of the same type, in the same area, with the same contractors, with the same finishes, just calculate the $/sqft of your last rehab and there you have it.So what about if you have 3 slabs of granite, and the other 5 slabs of granite, what about if one house, you need to replace all cabinets and the other just paint over them, what about you need to demo a fireplace on one, and the other just put stone coverings, what about if the other needs a full roof repair and the other is only a power wash?

Gas range, gas hot water heater, gas furnace, gas fireplace, gas BBQ, etc.

Here is a close up of the fireplace....
