If people have kids, they want soft surfaces.

{Just this spring, we started adding a CD with soft copies of all this information to each binder} Once I get time, we'll put all of this on-line.We also provide a new toilet brush (I buy them by the case when they are on-sale for $2.99 each), a plunger, shower curtain, and a tray of cleaning supplies under the kitchen sink whenever a new tenant moves in.This costs us around $30 per turnover.

However look at comps in the area for recently sold properties which you probably did, And you want to know your acquisition cost,hard and soft cost, etc.You want to know how much build able square feet you can build up and whats the zoning issues.

I'm looking to get into rehabbing single family housing and then selling, or renting for a while if the market is soft.

The moment you go soft and "lose your edge" is the day you need to get out of the real estate business, IMO.Due to the large sums of money involved, from the price of real estate itself, the availability to leverage, financing, legal, and others, you have to stay on your toes or you stand to lose a lot of money since the money itself will attract snake-oil salesmen and con artists.You must assume everything is a lie, whether you're a landlord, a potential buyer on a house, etc.

Hey Jeremy, I used Freedom soft when I started out in wholesaling.

Every time a guest checks out, I have to wash a set of sheets, a blanket, 2 towels, and a bath mat.

We recently switched back to Wells because our rockstar mortgage broker moved there.

It needs to be done softly, not like, "I'm the owner so get the hell out!"
