Looking to make some significant changes this year to meet my goals for the next 5 years.As for my book(s), if I was to judge by the amount of bent pages and highlights in the book it would have to be "The Book on Flipping Houses", second would be "How to Flip A House" by Brant Phillips.Aside from the bent pages, for personal development/learning to relax, I'd have to say "The One Thing" by Gary Keller and "The 4-Hour Workweek" by Timothy Ferriss.

I've found that in working closely with realtors and having an open form of communication, the process of buying, selling, and closing on a home becomes simple and highlights the importance of customer service- and making a good impression is what we live for!

Highlights for duplex- asking $245k- 4bed 2.5 bath each unit- built 2006 - current rent roll is $3100 per month (avg rent in area is $1200-$1300 per unit)- current tenants are month to month- taxes is $4500 a year for non homestead- insurance is $1900- tenants pay all utilities and maintenance - no other maintenancePrice is negotiable.

I feel more comfortable reading and highlighting books than reading an entire book or e-books from a computer or pad.Here's what I need?

I have many more concerns about this topic, but I don't want to hijack what others have to share.BTW, I have over 10 years of storm damage assessment experience with the highlight having been hired by the Department of Interior that oversees the National Historic Registry of Homes. 

My involvement is small as I’m a 5% partner but I do most of the financial analysis.Two highlights to start.– I like numbers.

Each property is unique and it is always a good idea to have and approved finish list for your contractor highlighting specific sku numbers when available or ask for a labor only bid.

I am advocating, however, that there is great opportunity for them to be utilized in the real estate space, especially as a means to create counterparties for those who aren't eternally optimistic about the market and to bridge market-stalling bid-ask spreads with the physical asset, which would improve overall liquidity in the market.Your comments highlight the biggest frustration I experience as an alternative asset manager with one foot in finance and the other in real estate: both cultures have a dogmatically limited view on how things are done, which precludes each from dealing with the other in the ways required to pull real estate out of the dark ages.The first step is to educate real estate market participants on finance in general: how to qualify and quantify risk, the mechanics of options, etc.
