@Daniel Adams Yeah I could see AA county having an issue with the garage apartment.In terms of people putting in "illegal" apartments, typically Frederick is going to be the easiest going on those.  

If you want I would be glad to link in a half dozen more professionals on here or attorneys, and have them give the same opinion. 

There are many ways to build a buyers list.1) asking a local real estate agent for a list of cash purchases in your area2) going to auctions 3) networking at REIA meetings4) calling on their bandit signs5) speaking with other wholesalers in the area.these are the easiest ways, there are a ton more, you just have to think creatively

It seems to me like you should get your subs lined up pay them time and a half or something and plow the rehab at full speed.

Myself and a partner are currently about halfway though our flip.it was originally intended as a buy and hold but we decided we would be better of to flip it due to it not being entirely suited as a rental (on a huge yard that needs alot of maintenance and a little out of town).so we decided to sell it,and I will but my half of the money into another property,but rent and hold it.Anyway were currently unsure about some things and i thought it would be a good idea to come on here and ask.when we are finished,the house will be a 3 bed,two bath with a finished basement.However,we are really stuck on how much things we should update.we are in Northern BC,Canada and winter is coming fast.My partner (matt) wants to just finish up ASAP and just get it to OK standards (put in the new floor,paint the old kitchen cabinets,finish up the bathrooms and what else needs to be done and put it up for sale during the winter.Problem is that houses dont sell very fast here in the winter and can sit on the market for a long time which dosnt look good,and you tend not to make as much on them.Also...the house has stucco which is ugly as sin...the house was built in the 70's (and im sure was very stylish back then!)

We both went in half and half for down payment and repairs on a duplex in Minnesota.  

Insurance has paid for the house to be gutted and the mold to be "remediated" but for some reason the current owners have stopped half way through and are selling it for about 50K below market.

You might not be able to ask for two appts rate for each but you can maybe ask for one and half appt rate. 

When we need new unit we could potentially split it up but for now it seems easiest to keep as is) Electricity $474Rubbish $432Snow removal $385 (we could do this ourselves and ideally want to negotiate his snow blower as part of the purchase!) 

I've went ahead and made a reservation at Uotora Honten (魚寅本店) on the 29th of this month (October, 2015) at 7:00 pm under the reservation name "Tateyama"Here's the link to the venue (In Japanese): http://tabelog.com/kanagawa/A1401/A140101/14006982...The easiest way to get there is to take the Northwest exit from Yokohama station.
