There are a lot of armchair quarterbacks, they don't know what they don't know. 

Here are the specs my handyman drew up:

For me, it went down like this: Realtor drew up the purchase offer and e-mailed it to me.

I ran comps 100 times, talked to 4 contractors to get bids, talked to another 3-4 agents for opinions, setup showings on the nearest listings within .5 miles and took detailed notes on each based on the price point, made sure I knew which repair items required city permits, and the processes on that (sure, the contractor usually takes care of that, but I didnt know what did/didnt require permits), talked to my insurance agent to get an idea on insurance costs, lined up 2 sources of funding (in case one fell through) and knew my holding costs to nearly the dollar amount, studied the area and watched the DOM like a hawk, drew up exit plans based on re-market price, time on market, etc... etc etc.And I do have an agent I know up in MNPLS, twin brother of a good friend of mine, PM me if you want his info!

Jay Luke I have been printing my own as well I just drew some text boxes in a word doc and moved them till they aligned.

I too am a newbie looking to get into investing and I drew out that same exact strategy to wholesale first, then buy & hold as my end game.

@Drew Fein - Would you like to weigh in on this being as though you are a CO based RE attorney?

Hi Drew,Arizona Tax Liens were actually my first form of RE investment.

Drew, heard it from the eviction attorney.
