If there's a way to collect the fee and run Credit check / Background check, that would be a great tool for an investor who is not full time yet (such as myself).

These are things that are cheaper when you hire contractors who specialize in those things, as they can get discounts on the materials, they own the tools and they can finish the job in probably a third the time as a handyman.For example, painters can generally get paint for 30-40% less than a handyman just based on quantities they buy. 

If there are any areas of walls that need dings and dens fixed, I would be inclined to mark them on the wall and describe them in the scope.Make sure to indicate very specificallythey are required to clean up after themselves and to not clean their tools in your finished sinks.

@Jay Hinrichs on show 222 you mention that you were working on a new platform for short term investments.  Is that available yet?  Where can I research it?  Thank you.  

It seems like people are just hearing those terms and jumping on it .https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-12-18/fintech-mircocap-stock-jumps-2-400-after-touting-crypto-linkI am sure most of these companies won't be around forever but I dont think the technology will be going away especially with huge companies researching and implementing it .I was young during the dot com bubble but was following stocks and the market at the time and this feels very similar with these tokens surging so much in price .So far I've only invested a very small amount in ICO , the team seemed very legit and they already have an existing related legit business .Still trying to figure out token distribution and actually being able to trade on the crypto exchanges it's been interesting though .It's not a user friendly experience and there's lots of new terminology and words to learn and different random tools like wallets etc .. but that's kind of what makes it fun too .

Education and networking are the real tools to success in real estate, not capital, although it certainly can help.

I have used the BiggerPockets BRRRR analysis tool, but not sure if I have used the correct assumptions.Property:  1241 W CHew, Allentown City PA, 18102 (2-unit house)- listed for $73k- Offer: $40k- Closing cost: $9k- Repairs: $16k- ARV: $90k- Rent: $1,800 a month- Vacancy, Maintenance, CapEx: 10% each- Water and Sewer: $100 a month- Insurance: $100 a month- Property management: $180 a month- Property tax: $261 a monthThis leaves me $232 cash flow per month if I refinance it at $90k at 5% interest rate.

Bigger Pockets has tools you can use to analyze the properties and put presentations together.  

The law is really very clear and if you know your tools you should not have a reason to be concerned.

My goal is to use these investments as a learning tool and a way to grow wealth for further investment.
