My question is, if I want to remodel aspects of it to increases its valuation does it make sense to wait until I rent it out a year to someone or do it before hand ? 

David Greene mentioned that when he does out of state renovations, he likes to leverage property managers to overlook the construction process.

Do you get an inspection and just let the potential seller say they need to wait for that to be done, or do you hire a GC to give you an estimate?

But as I mentioned, IMO you dont loose a whole lot by having it and stand a chance to gain for little extra cost.

If you get a section 8 tenant the authority will need a closet and outlets as well as the egress you mentioned.

Can't wait till this weekend in Belize (Lobster festival).

Though fee schedules vary by company, generally speaking, you'll pay more up front for checkbook control and less over time, since the full custodial companies will have transaction fees not to mention the red tape of going through the custodian for all transactions. 

Just to mention a few:- Wynn Casino (First Casino in the GCC states) in Ras al Khaimah- Al Maktoum International Airport (set to become the worlds busiest airport)- Palm Jebel Ali (the second palm bigger and more luxurious)- Expo City (Regions largest exhibition center)Its a lot of information but I believe it gives a simple explanation to the complex market here.Let me know if you would like to know more about the market and if you would need guidance into exploring the possibilities here!

Do I have to wait for J.
