I just arrived back in the USA and an very happy to be here.I have been monitoring a duplex in a very hot property area for some time.

Just arrived today, so hoping to get into it this weekend.

Jeffery,You are truly a motivated young man and I'm sure if there's a crack in that wall you're going to find it.Are you waiting for success to arrive, or are you going out to find where it is hiding?

The sooner you accept that you are going to deal with SOMETHING on every deal, the easier it is to accept it and deal with it when it arrives!

I’ve spent the past six months listening to the BP podcasts, reading all of the guides and recommended books (including J Scott’s), and learning as much as I could before I arrived in town.

Now there is a new chapter in the chronicle.Cleaners went there this week to clean the place after it became cockroach infested from being vacant with rotten foodstuff for 4 months.When they arrived they found a dog in the house and a guy was seen jumping out of the second story window.

I'd consider a PM as more of a coordinate/GC dual role, ensuring materials arrive on time, contracts do the right work, and everything is coming out as you, the owner, wants.

How did you arrive at your ARV?

Lots of brand new Class A properties scheduled to come online in hotter locations like Midtown and Buckhead over the next couple years, which will likely hurt your value.

I am not completely sure how to estimate repairs and how to arrive at my ARV.
