Welcome, and thank you for your service.

Hi Kwanza,Bay Tek (650-204-1512) would be a great starting point, but I’d also recommend reaching out to Adler Builders (650-398-9030) and Mission Home Remodeling (415-855-7269) for comparable bids.In San Francisco, you’ll need a licensed General Contractor (GC) to pull the necessary permits.

Hi Abigal, I'm here in the Atlanta area and love to connect. 

How many bedrooms does it have and what do you think it'll rent for?

I felt I had a good head start since I was already a real estate agent and was very comfortable with finding comps and figuring out the ARV.

Thanks for sharing a bit about yourself and journey. 

It's also easier to figure out all of the pro's and con's a head of time to avoid lost time and money.  

Since you know what you need to buy it at and an average rehab cost, I would say $50-70k for a cosmetic flip, set the ARV based on the sample you choose and doing comps and ask them if they would invest in a deal similar to this. 

Verifying last 2 years of rental history and income extremely important to find the “best of the worst”.Make sure you understand the Class of properties you are looking at and the corresponding results to expect.

If you own (2) properties free and clear you could simply do a cash out refinance.
