So here is a park owners perspective.

I had an appraiser perform a subject to appraisal and he said that with a fresh coat of paint and some other cosmetic repairs, the property would appraise for $300,000 at this point in time on the market.

I found that some smart investors are getting a contract on the house first with proof of funds of course..i didn't know if they were getting em first before they viewed..this knocks out the tire kickers and puts in real movers and shakers in the area instead of lookie lous.I think some people are not looking at this from a landlord perspective.

But try to not slow it down, time is of the essence in this business.Expending 10 hours on a construction site at least once in your life and/or following the purchase process (for material and labor) during a few weeks  can give you a completely different perspective of many things, that also will help you to protect your time/money investment in the deal.You have to think for your market: how much you expect to charge for wholesale a property?

Oh, and I plan to sell my duplex since it is 90 min away, one way, from where I live and this new apt building and will be chump change from an income perspective.

And whatever is not covered, I would want an estimate of the cost over the last 12 months.As far as those percentages go, there are a lot of forum posts that deal with the issues from different perspectives.

I give the perspective tenant everything they need to know in the video, and tell them that I have a two part application process. 

Would like to get realtors perspective on a few of the areas id like to invest in.

Yeah thanks for putting this back into perspective for me.

I have found negotiating on price of a bpo is only relevant when a bpo is found to be drastically off, which can happen. in that case a contractor estimate could certainly help, particularly from a cya perspective.
