Hey Art,Congratulations on your investment.

Leverage is great, and most people my age don't understand the art of good debt, or the fact that there is "good" debt.

I know it is more art than science. 

My biggest advice would be to learn the art of negotiation.

So an art would use it as a workspace but wouldn't actually live there?  

It's good that you're looking at it from their perspective as this will be an integral component to finding the right guy or gal to take you under their wing.Always remember that business is the art of adding value or helping people more so than making a quick buck (well, at least I think it is).

In our market, pricing is actually pretty easy because of the homogeneous types of houses and neighborhoods we buy/sell in; I envy those rehabbers who work in markets where pricing is an art because prices fluctuate drastically street by street.But, knowing Steve L (and knowing that he's done about 3x as many projects as I've done in the past few years in the SoCal market), I'm sure he's aware of this as well and is probably pretty good at pricing his resales...

Truly finding properties that can be purchased and resold to investors is a skill and possibly an art.

Something subjective like art or antiques are always a good bet.

I also bought The Art of Wholesaling Properties.
