Quote from @Sofia De Santos Tavarez: Hello, my husband and I are looking to do our first rehab in a different city than where we live (we live in Austin and looking to buy in El Paso), and are wondering how one determines and writes a scope of work and determine what material to buy for what.

At the end of the day if you run your numbers and analyze like 10 properties a day, and every single day scour the internet for anything new, you will eventually find something that works and know it almost immediately.

From there determining what you have budgeted for your first project.

Sounds like strategy call would make most sense to see what your goals are with REI and being an agent to determine if the organization I represent aligns with the direction you are looking to go. 

LTV would be determined by the type of loan.

How did you determine that? 

Hi Chris, As financing costs will be a big factor in determining profitability, you should be asking HMLs for proposals to fund. 

You will want to interview at least a couple of realtors and determine what resources they have available for you in several arenas (lenders, contractors, more). 

Find Brandon Turner anywhere on the internet for information on it.  

There is a very big difference in my point of view hearing from someone who knows someone first hand vs. someone who just goes and does some internet research.
