A window and a door qualify.4 - Minimum ceiling height of 7ft.

I look at foreclosures.comOut of the 3 stages I am definitely not ready for an auctionpreclosure / short sales:- I need to research how to take over a deed / title- need to prepare how to do door knocking (I have a sales background and feel confident in dealing with an emotional conversation about someone’s home) - there IS a window of like 4 weeks that I need to prepare for (have my finances in order) to then bid before it goes to auction?

Electrical work, plumbing, foundation, windows, roofing, and AC/Heat.

My PM, who did not know my realtor, said the house looked good, nothing needed to be done, and got it rented.Turns out both were terrible, the house needed new HVAC, AC, windows, Doors, Pipe fixes, Water Heater, electric line, I found all this out after my Tenant Sued us because of the house's condition.We spent a 9 months of the tenants chasing off contractors before we got it repaired and the tenants out, then the judge granted us all our rent so we finally go that.

And we've got a mall that hd a huge Macy's or maybe it was saks 5th ave I can't remember, regardless they through a huge volleyball facility in the space and that has really been driving the mall, its actually really cool, they left a huge window into the rest of the mall so people can see in walking buy...very well thought out.

@Jason MalabuteWe recorded a podcast with Ivan about six months ago, and although he may have used bridge financing in a couple deals, the way he's scaled his company and the fact that he is vertically integrated gives me the feeling that thesis going to be in this business for the long term, and focuses heavily on operations.Here's a link to his show --> https://jakeandgino.com/real-estate-wisdom-lessons-from-ivan...Gino

We still need to calculate appliances, flooring, windows, HVAC, fixtures....My point is that we need to be putting away money to keep our properties in max market rent rate condition.

A window of time to present yourself, get processed, finger printed, all info set.

I assume 15% of the rent for regular repairs and capital expenses (roof, furnace, windows etc.) and 5 % of the rent for vacancies.
