.- We originated a note on a property (in Brazil, IN; Clay County in case that matters). 

@Clay Collins we usually redo the kitchen and bathrooms, replace the HVAC and roof and furnish the space, but that still depends on the property situation and the goal. 

Purchase price: $148,000 Cash invested: $186,000 Contributors: Christopher Mannella, Stone Bettersworth, Clay Corley, Mitchell Kramer, Adam Polokoff Awesome deal Put under contract and wholesaled to one of our investors invested all cash and crushed the rehab.

You can buy die tablets on amazon.com and it takes around 1 minute per toilet to see if they are losing water. 

This is clay soil around here so it usually is hard as a rock. 

Lyndsey Whiteaker - I would HIGHLY suggest investing $14 and buy the book "FLIP" by Rick Villani and Clay Davis.

P.S Talking about Smartphones and Tablets

The soil here sucks - it's full of clay and the heat of summer really causes it to contract.

Yes depends on the tenant and where it is and how long you plan to hold the property.For town house style the tenants in lower income rentals tend to work labor jobs.The lower level takes an absolute beating if you have carpet. the red clay trashed the carpet.

The reason being that the houses were older than I'm accustomed to and they use different building methodologies up there, so I wasn't able to assess things like the well, foundations on clay soil, rubber roofs, etc.FWIW, I was over budget by about $25K on the first Milwaukee rehab -- about $10K of that was stuff a really good inspector probably could have caught (structural/framing issues), but the inspector missed it and so did I.
