im an out of state investor, and im looking to understand the DSM marketon the surface, its seems like there are good deals here (better than the last market ive looked in) but I cant really be sure about that, so I will love to have your insights about DSMim currently looking for a SFH, fixer upper , have a budget of a 130k. im paying cash, I can close fast, and if everything will go well, I can have 3 more purchases throughout the year.im also trying to understand where are the rought neighberhoods, I know that if you are an agent you cannot answer me, but maybe you can  tell me where I can find some info about that (I was looking in Neighborhoodscout, but it seems like there are very few  rough neighborhoods in the DSM, if at all, and most of them are in downtown/NW downtown).Thanks!

Also in bathroom you can get top of the line materials for high end feeling because the surface area will be smaller. 

I’ve been interested in investing for about 6 months now and I feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface in my Real Estate investing career.

When you can, jump in the pool and test the water.A little caution with that water, as unless you have a good idea what's under that surface, going head first is not the choice I would make.Just don't expect to get in the water and jump out clean and dry the first time.

I’m just starting to scratch the surface of how this works so I really appreciate your patient, thorough answers.

Similarly, it's incumbent on us to educate guests on both the standard processes we have in place for disinfecting all switches, surfaces, and countertops with every turnover, as well as the reality of what we know on how/where COVID19 spreads and how long it can survive on surfaces, which appears to be somewhere between several hours - 3 days in one study versus up to 9 days in another. 

I'm pretty happy with standard good ol' fashioned buy, fix, rent, hold.

Perhaps you'll even find some kind of financial relief or incentives near you, if the course of this virus does unfold in a more dramatic fashion than we can currently anticipate.

There are different ways to "abate" lead: replacement (completely replacing any surfaces with LBP); enclosure (lead paint is covered with a wall covering like wall paper); removal (sanding and chemically removing the LBP from surfaces) and encapsulation (covering the LBP surfaces with a special chemical). 

If you wanted you could get some sani-cloth wipes for surfaces just make sure you use gloves with them.
