Our rent yield per square foot is probably 2-3 times the national average.

That's not real expensive and I've done some of them myself.I've seen older places that the service panel was sufficient but it's probably not, probably from $900-$2K to fix that.Older houses don't have nearly enough outlets per foot of wall space, again it's not difficult but if the electrian is there he can do those too.

If you are selling a house in an area that sells for $100 a square foot for an average house that needs some updating and you put yours on the market all freshly rehabbed for $90 a foot, which one do you think people will buy?

Well I think first off I'd have to say $125 a foot for a rehab in this region is extremely high, even for higher end remodeling.

I really really don't mind sharing any profits with any mentor/partners as long as I can get my foot in the door.

I prefer to take an average sold price per square foot of the area for the last 12 months and work off of this data as my standard.

If bird dogging is a possible foot in the door option, what would be the best way to go about this?

Just make sure that if the house is not 100% FINISHED, and all boo boos repaired, that there's plenty of $$ placed in escrow to finish it.We just looked at a place that was about 35% BELOW MARKET on a price per square foot basis.

I don’t need properties with granite countertops or walk in closets as I don’t plan on stepping foot inside of the properties.

I notice a concave portion on a small part of the house about 4 foot from the guttering.
