@Anade DavisHi Anade, You’re on the right track with reaching out to your survey and engineering company—they often have strong connections to local contractors.

If your local market is very active and homes are selling fast, you may be able to get by with doing less.Your Home’s Condition: If your home is vacant or has a unique layout, using a professional stager who can bring in the right furniture and accessories may help buyers truly visualize its full potential.Your Budget: Talk to your agent to get an idea of staging costs in your area, as it can be the difference between your house selling and sitting.

I like not worrying about being sued even when the local 2-bit lawyer tells me he is going to sue me (which he has done multiple times). 

Sometimes folks overlook how real prce apprecation can be impacted by having acreage that’s not typical in suburban areas.In Phoenix, where I’m based, a lot of us collaborate with local probate attorneys who know about hidden opportunities that never see the open market.

In Pittsburgh, where I live and operate, this would be a two to three-month process in front of almost all out local district magistrates.

You can find the most recent sales price for the property on the local tax records website or by doing a quick search on Zillow.

My local REIA used to have Saturday morning cash flow games that I found very beneficial.

C. and @Trevor Laramee I went through a local insurance company and was happy with the rate.

I am new to real estate investing and looking to connect with any local investor.

In the near and immediate term, expect dramatic changes to the local Southern California RE market.
