@Brendan Cronshaw - I found and downloaded the FHA handbook that gives the outlines for the different types of FHA loans.This is what I found on the subject of selecting contractors-"Standard 203(k) Establishing Repairs and Improvements The Mortgagee must select an FHA-approved 203(k) Consultant from the FHA 203(k) Consultant Roster in FHAC.

I am replying using the BP app on iphone.

You probably can download one or get a financial calculator.

Marcus and Millichap have very helpful reports you can download for free.

Is my iPhone a good enough camera for that or is that what most people use?

I read through some of your blog posts and downloaded your podcast for the commute home tonight - I got some great information from the lessons you learned from closing on an out-of-state apartment; especially around the due diligence process and financing. 

Just downloaded your eBook.

You should download a copy of the IRS Pubs that include instructions for Schedule E, depreciation, and business expenses. 

I have downloaded the list of properties up for tax lien sale next month and I've identified properties that interest me either for my own portfolio and/or because I think they stand a good chance of being paid by the current owner (mostly both).Two properties that are in my preferred farm area are owned by a defunct LLC.

I just downloaded the ebook and will listen to the podcasts as well.
