The fun thing about spending time with successful real estate investors, as you have probably observed here on Bigger Pockets, is that they are terrific problem solvers and love the challenge of finding creative solutions to get things done.Feel free to add more detail if my answers are not quite on the mark!

If rehabbing i would use this list as how many windows to be replaced , how many doors to be replaced, and this one is from J Scott within bigger pockets..this is a final but it will help you with observing items in the house.

aside from the observation that people overanalyze things, what would you recommend for selecting an area to invest in?

Getting busy was a factor, BUT there was always time to find in between jobs and sleep that I coulda billed.It was weird when I stepped back to observe my own behavior.

@Rachel RandolphThis is only my observation & past experience.Most property manager were hired by a Broker of a property management company, that runs the company.The property managers are not really experienced or has experience in dealing with the tenants.

And from what I have observed from speaking to REMs, they also belive that Commercial Property Management is much more lucrative compared to Residential property.

You make a very profound observation.

I’d like your comments/opinions/advice on what I’ve observed so far for KC, KS.

Go there a few times just observe and pretend you want to bid on them.

The investor has already purchased the home, done a few months of work on it, and needs money to finish rehabbing - asking $12k but I think they may need up to $20k based on my observations of the property.
