Big box stores will be harder to find the real ones from the weekend warriors.  

I am a 20 year old basketball player at Ohio Valley University in Vienna, WV, and I've decided to make a career out of real estate investing.

just for context  I bought a 9k sq foot house that an NBA basket baller had 1/2 finished.. just needed interior cabnets flooring appliances landscaping etc.. we spend OVER 1 million dollar finishing that house.. now granted it sold for 5 million.. but you get the drift  big high end houses can no way be put together for 200k.... 

Prosecutor with over 6 years of experience here (including prosecuting a real estate-related fraud case):Setting aside whether or not this is a JUST law (and not to be a keyboard warrior), but I don't imagine the people saying the charges will never stick have ever put anyone in jail and/or defended anyone in a felony case. 

Most people will do this much earlier.Large Unsecured Line of Credit at BankSyndicate Commercial Money with Private Lenders on Big Money DealsUnknown UnknownsFYI I started out with $1,000 that I won from hitting a halfcourt shot at a Texas Tech Basketball game.

The home had a lot of "weekend warrior" style work- so a lot of out-of-code wiring, which we fixed.

And how can you know what is best.Now of the 5 things when looking at a deal I train people that there is slim chance you are going to get all 5... ( that’s like me wanting to slam dunk a basketball... not going to happen as much as I want to)If your goal is future net worth and Cashflow... why would you care what it’s doing today if you don’t need the money today and you are planting seeds for the tree of 20 -30 years from now.

If you are a little handy yourself, be a weekend warrior and fix the small stuff yourself.Give yourself no more than 1 month to get the work done.

We have a division-1 football & basketball teams that regularly attract outside visitors, as well as having Interstate-80 run right through our town.

But if you go in knowing what the property is worth and it isn't too far away from the seller's asking price, there shouldn't be much to negotiate.Good luck warrior!
