I have found time is better spent building tools to quickly analyze & procure new deals, rather than hyper-analyzing the metrics of one deal, ultimately making initial review faster & more reliable (spend time on the things that make sense, quickly remove things that don't, even junior-level staff can identify good opportunities with the tools, etc).For example, if I'm modeling a SFR to 3-4 unit scheme, I can quickly check the $/sf/mo for each of my proposed units and get a good idea of the GOI without having to manually dig through &  find rent comps in that City/Zip:- So instantly I know in Woodland Hills that a Studio is close to $5/sf/mo on avg, 1 Bedroom closer to $4/sf/mo, with the 2 & 3 Bedrooms closer to $3/sf/mo.

talk to the dept of health first (records requirements etc), establish what upgrades/maintenance required, line up a reliable repair/handyman/type person, consult lawyer, and then make your offer, see if you can buy the land it's on via lot line adjustment (ideal scenario). a lot to be aware of, such as system upgrades or county code changes bringing in the requirement to add metered connections to an older small system, for just one example.Otherwise- owner doesn't want to manage, I doubt you really do either but could be wrong. 

You can still find turnkey deals that make sense but you'll need to act quickly because those deals get locked up extremely quickly. 

The author documents how startlingly difficult it was in WWI and WWII to get conscripts to willingly shoot straight at the enemy, the process it took to dehumanize the bad guy enough to get a new soldier to reliably take a straight shot down a rifle barrel at him.

But it has to be decent vacant land, not something land locked, can't be built on or some obscure piece.

Absentee development is very challenging unless you have a very reliable team.

Looking for recommendations of best electronic locks (coded entry) that also have key access.

Looking to connect with some real estate agents or investors looking for a reliable handyman in the Topeka and Lawrence area. 

The problem with finding contractors to finish is finding a good and reliable one, especially in south Florida I have not been able to find anyone over the years. 

Are you looking for one because you are locked in at a low interest rate?
