I see loopnet, the MLS, etc. and in my general area, I don't focus on leads from these sources so I am hoping there are other avenues to get a foot in the door in this area.

It's all in the interest of making that foot in the door more affordable.

When I have a client with that need, I pull comps and look at each listing individually and find fixers and fully rehabbed homes and help them develop a budget based on the sale price per square foot for the pre and post rehab properties. 

We had a guest call and say they needed to cancel because grandma broke her foot. 

I'm currently looking to get my foot in the door regarding investing out of state.

Honestly, for my first purchase, I was looking for something where I could just not be cash-flow negative and get my foot in the door.

Its 3240 sq ft and bought at $96.91 per foot and there's a recent also outdated multifamily comp that sold for $113 a foot.

He tells me I need to replace a 40 foot wall.

You either have to go out a litte further, 2-3 miles to try and find comps, or try another valuation method like price per square foot average in the area to get a ballpark.

I agree this isn't a big deal, but he's trying to charge me nearly $200 for a 2 foot piece.
