HI Brandon,600 sq ft... that's a 20 x 30 area.Time guesstimate to DIY with a Sawzall, a sledge, and some music playing, maybe 2 weeks (if can you handle a fast workload for that long).Not everyone can handle physical labor for that long though, but at $8,500 for 600 sq ft upstairs plus a basement, wow.The other side of this is how much of that $8,500 is for permits and dumpster, and how much for labor.I mean if your area is $6,000 for a permit and dumpster that only leaves $2,500 for labor.Apples to Apples, you know.Good Luck!

I took stagecraft, African drumming, the history of music, and many more just to get "credits" And no, my major did not involve anything that resembles these classes in anyway shape or form.

And technology could certainly in the future make the god-awful real estate closing process a lot more bearable.Who needs the internet to listen to music, right? 

Educate yourself first, then you can sort the noise from the real music.1.

There was a report where a guy did this, he moved into a property he owned and played loud music, and did stuff that drove the people nuts and got them to leave.

Pandora - music channel. you can use it for free but have to listen to ads

I inherited a tenant that was playing loud music at all hours of the night and having friends over where they would have weird screaming parties (drugs maybe?) 

Here are some bullet points: Real Estate Mentorships can be great for speeding up your education in RE investing Real Estate programs can help build new profitable relationships that one otherwise would not have had (such as with successful people) Real Estate Mentors often will not tell you how difficult/saturated/competitive the industry is Real Estate Mentors often won't tell you how unlikely you are to succeed (similar to the music/entertainment industry) Real Estate Mentors will often talk down on corporate jobs, even though many corporate jobs have less stress and better pay than running your own real estate wholesaling/investing business (especially when those jobs are commissions sales jobs) Real Estate Mentors are highly incentivized not to tell the whole truth b/c it does not benefit their income to do so (i.e. - telling the whole truth would mean less mentees signing up for their $10k programs and therefore less money for them)Real Estate wholesaling is similar to the music/entertainment industry in that there is a very low barrier to entry and only a few who will succeed (regardless of how hard he/she works)Please note that I am not trying to be negative here.

But it turned out that the average guy paid the price when the music stopped.

Check to see if the HOA can fine unit owners for noise complaints, littering, damage to common areas, nuisance complaints, etc.When renting to any college student there is sure to be:- Wild parties that get out of control- Blaring music- People coming and going at all hours of the night- Screaming & fighting- Someone puking outside from time to timeCount on receiving some sort of complaints from other unit owners or renters who are not students themselves.
