Density is coming to the area which will bring foot traffic and potential consumers to make the commercial spaces on the ground floor worth owning.

I would be interested to know how you make out with this , I’ve been analyzing properties in that area for a while but the best deals were always gone before I got my foot in the door.

but if you have $0 in savings, thousands of dollars in credit card debt, and have never set foot inside an actual house for sale, you have no business paying for coaching, or buying houses. 

The lot shows the existing building envelope next to the proposed renovated floor plan and square foot addition. 

That way you can meet all types of connections to get your foot in the door.

Instead, you have a section of the footing for the two bedrooms that isn't deep enough to prevent frost from getting under it.

All that being said, beggars can't be choosers, and when you're going after your first property it's more important to get your foot in the door and learn the business than it is to make a killing on your first unit - i.e. if you have to make a slim margin to get a great case study, that's better than trying to charge 30% for something you've never done before and spending a year trying to convince someone to roll the dice on you.

You can read The Book on Estimating Rehab Costs by @J Scott as a guide, but the current numbers for your area will be different.Don't let someone tell you that you can just do per square foot.

That makes it tough but I think I can still get the ARV needed to cash out refi and not have any money in the dealQuote from @Dalton Foote:

I’ve gotten by with just cleaning the roots out annually at a few of our properties with clay pipes, and just replacing sections of collapsed pipes at others and the highest I’ve paid was $10k for replacing a ~30 foot section of collapsed orangeburg (that stuff is the worst).
