This is in terms of where i’d live and i know each and every one of these blocks like the back of my hand, but at the moment i wouldn’t invest where i wouldn’t like to live, which is why i invest specifically in these 2 neighborhoods because of how intimately i understand them.

Suggest you check in with him/her on this additional service as your attorney is already intimately familiar with the file and you can often give them pre-authorized amounts to settle on vs trying to squeeze all the blood from that turnip. 

I hope that ( In Time) they will put more money in my pocket than they took out, but it’s not a given. 100%.

As some of the responses have intimated, I have received mixed responses about undertaking BRRRs in the current higher interest marketplace.

I'm looking for an agent that is intimately aware of these markets.

Looking back, sure, after the fact looking back on a 2010 buy one can say how "easy" it was and how it rapidly became a "cash-cow" but at the moment in time of the buy, no, it was NOT prevalent or known what they'd be the next year, 5, 10 etc.. 

While I didn't like feeling I was in Time Square on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls, the New York side felt completely dead. 

While I don’t regret anything in my life if I was to go back in time I would finish the real estate degree and go into something real estate when I graduated at 22 instead of doing it half-as**ed for years.

I like to look at not only the subject property but also as many of the comps, the neighboring properties, the ones behind and in front and on the next block, etc. in order to really understand the exact micro-market as intimately as possible.

We all want to learn everything but that comes in time.
