You just have to polish your crystal ball and make decisions based around what is going on in your target market. 

The inside was slightly discolored, obviously if water is going to go through shingles, then run down wood, through insulation and into sheetrock it will not be crystal clear anymore.

@Jerry Stanford @Mark Ainley @Crystal Smith thanks for your input.

Motivation: always loved houses - and when our 4 kids were small I needed to find flexible ways to make additional incomeBiggest struggles: Early on it was finances - had to work with OWC deals only - learnings: tried to absorb as much as I could from the seller perspective such as: what lenders want to see in a home, how lenders qualify buyers, what buyers want in a house, how to create a viable product with limited funds (safe, legal, and appealing)Love & Hate: love a project - finding the deal, turning a dump into a palace, and getting it sold. hate being a landlord - just not for me. 

Again, unless you have the one and only crystal ball of real estate, you can project all you want, it is still a guess and therefore the output may or may not be accurate.

great advice from Crystal and JustinThanks
