Glad to have you here, there is a wealth of experience among us. Being

I run a basic analysis of all properties prior to sending them to my investor clients just to get past the first hump.

i know a lot o you are not hands on with your properties, but I for one, am, the sewer lateral issue has been a big one for me, so i purchased a 50 foot USB drain camera on Ebay for $15 or $20 attach it to my electrical fish tape, and inspect the line as part of my rehab, or prior to purchasing if possible. it works for me.

Scores are good, but I've got all my money invested in my business, so we'll have a challenge with DTI and also down payment.Would love to find an investor to come in and buy the house and have us be their tenant, but acquisition cost may be too high to justify the return on cash. 

There are a lot of people with investment money who are looking for people like us who are willing to bust our hump while they sit back and let there money work for them.Then again, there is no right or wrong way to work these deals.

This is a huge success for us being our first time now all we have to do is refinance and do it again! 

So here is how I would set this up: Kitchen: Appliances - $6,000 Cabinets - $10,000Countertop - $70-110/sqftSink - $1,500Faucet - $500Cab pulls - $500 (or $6-10/pull) Install - $2,000Flooring: Floor product (unfinished): (expect to pay 4 - 10 dollars per board foot for anything quality) Floor finishing (sanding, coating etc) roughly $3/Sq ft (as long as you are using a standard coating (polyurethane) if you want to go higher end with an oil or stain expect this to jump to 4-5/sq ft Bathrooms:Demo: $/hour x expected hours Underlayment: Schulter Shower System (approx: 500/shower enclosure) Tile/grout/thinset: 6-10 sq/ftInstall: $3-6 sq/ft Lighting and Electric: (pricing includes installation)   Switches: approx $30/switch  (this assumes a mid range Leviton 3-way dimmer) Outlets: $10 (TR Leviton duplex, GFI where needed and duplex/USB combo in Kitchen Island and a few choice locations) Lighting:Surface mount approx $150/fixtureCan: approx. $250/fixture (assuming old work install by electrician)A little more on why I do it this way: Kitchen: You can figure out exactly how much your kitchen is going to cost before you start.

Us being wholesalers, w get calls, texts, emails and requests all day from people all asking us to add their email address to our distribution list without knowing who we are...

Fannie Mae realtor us being unreasonable.

If you want a more passive approach and are ok with better then market returns (and BTW, most investors come to us b/c they want to get better returns then they are getting in the market.
