This gives us our "Strike Price", which is the maximum amount we'll pay for the property.

We usually start with the As Repaired Value (ARV) and then back into our "Strike Price", which is the most we'll be willing to pay for a property.

A suggestion is to go to Lowe’s or Home Depot early in morning and just strike up a conversation with someone getting materials.

I haven’t worked in Atlanta in a couple years so I’m least familiar with that market and it seems like it’s gotten more expensive, but as of now it’s still more affordable than either Austin and NYC…no idea what the rental market is like there, but it seems like it might be the most economically feasible.So anyway, that’s my scenario…should also note that I won’t be pulling the trigger on such a purchase right away, there is currently an on-going writer’s strike and as I work in production, I’m out of a job until it concludes so I’m gonna have to let that sort itself out and see what kind of job I end up jumping back into.

For example, when I look at the area on Google, there are houses on lots near my subject of interest lot, which do not show on the county assessor website...but they are obviously present.Although county officials don't want in any way to give advice, I am hoping the assessor who reassigned the house street address number to this property, will confirm if the house with the number on the lot next door is in fact the same house that he alleges is on my subject property, that he assigned the new address to.I still would like to find out what will be necessary for me to wrest the property from the current controlling party (who is renting it out to tenants), if I strike a deal to gain all the rights of the existing living spouse of the deceased owner of record.

While this means accessing the wall cavities to install insulation, which often necessitates removal of the old lath-n-plaster, we do make efforts to preserve the mouldings and trim as it is integral to the ambiance of the house - tenants looking for flats in Victorian or Second Empire buildings are expecting the ornate.We also try to strike a balance between the compartmentalised layout of these old buildings and today's trend/desire for "open concept".

When we say the original contract was valid because it says no pets as your defense  we mean there is no reason to strike it because a pet is not a service animal.  

There are still some reasonable deals in the Avondale but if you want to strike while the iron is hot, it's best to get in as soon as you can because it is investor central and prices have definitely risen in the area. 2.

Agreed, the legality and enforceability of the buy option at a the strike price under the stated conditions is key and would have to be bulletproof legally.

Now is the time to strike while the iron is hot in order to be in on the ground floor.Thoughts?
