Tim: I like my Glock 9 because of the increased magazine capacity.

If you assume a roof lasts (for instance) 10 years, and costs (again, for instance), $5000 to replace, then you need to budget $40/month for roof replacement.That's why Mike and others just used a fixed percentage. 50%'s a conservative number.

They gave us their marketing material about being in Success magazine and whatever else magazine they were feature in.

For instance if the median price range of homes for you area is $100k then buy a house that will retail for around 100k when you are finished rehabbing it.In my area you can't go wrong with cheap homes though.

To get the listing agent's number you will need access to either the MLS or find it on Realtor.com, a Homes magazine or any other publication where it is listed.

It also has statewide and city discussion boards as well as general subject boards.rottentomatoes; I'm a movie junky (easier to deal with than real life) so this is great for research, it's pretty cool because the moves discussed (and posters) are not just American.doityourself; the best site I've found for posting questions and getting GOOD answers on how to do a particular job.I also subscribe to the onlline editions of several big newspapers and magazines that I don't receive in paper form.all cash

For this instance let's just use 70%.70% of $75,000 (the ARV) is $52,500$25,000 is the purchase price and $25,000 for repairs equals $50,000.

Plus, there are always instances where you will need to have cash to make a deal work or for additional marketing.

For instance, if the market right is that houses are seling for $225,000 and the prices are dropping at 7% per year, but you'll have the house on the market in 3 months, then you'll want to subtract only about 2-3% from the value -so your ARV would be $184,000 from which you'll subtract expenses.ARV $218kRehab $ 30kBSH $ 27k (15% of ARV)Profit $ 30kMax Offer $131kYour $120k offer would be a good price for the house - I might even start neg. lower.

that in the first instance the property has already been taken by the county, and in the second, a lien has been placed on the property. if this is true, then I could buy the first property outright, and the lien on the second.But I realize now what I need to do is talk to the county, not pester you guys about knowledge I can find out for myself.
