Pretty much all major components were newly installed / fitted and done to a tasteful standard (new metal roof, plumbing, electrical, kitchen, flooring, bathroom, doors, new hvac, decks, vinyl siding etc) and I have visited and walked through 3 times and even been under crawl space to inspect a repair that was previously noted on an inspection to the foundation after termite treatment which looked to be a good job.

Making sure the property "flows" outside is a key component I have personally found - assuring nobody is stepping on toes, encroaching on each other's outside space, or blocking cars in, etc. 

Besides marketing the larger component is the list of questions to ask and how we ask them.  

Most significant are environmental issues centering around past or present leakage of petroleum products into the ground. 

If your plan has both tax-deferred and Roth 401(k) components and is written to allow for in-service Roth rollovers (most do), you could roll the money you've stashed in your traditional IRA into your tax-deferred 401(k) and then do an in-service rollover, once the money is in the 401(k).

There is a entire component of marketing or searching out a property and while many can bodger there way through, most can not do it on a proficient level.

**Essential Coverage**: What are the key components of a comprehensive landlord insurance policy?

We have done private lending and have done deals where we were debt and equity -whereby we were the debt component but offered a lower interest rate in order to get a share of the equity.

I think that there's a component of vote/post ratio (especially for folks working on their first 100 posts here as well) that has to do with adding value.

An approach you might want to take, is to break down each component of the rehab into its own price per sqft/linear foot/units for both materials and for labor.for example you might find that flooring costs and average of $3.50/sqft labor to install + $3.00/sqft for materials X square feet = cost to refloor+ always add an extra 10% for unforseensSo you would just need to do this for every part of the rehab based on what needs to be done and what level of finish you are going for.keep in mind that some things are measured by sqft, like floor, and others are measured by linear foot, like trim, and some are measured by total area, like drywall and paint, and yet others are measured per each like tubs and toilets.A good place to start with figuring costs is The Book On Estimating Rehab Costs by J.
