When I asked my magic eight ball the same question, its answer was: "It's all about capital structure and be ready to have multiple exit strategies"!

Multiple exit strategies are fabulous, especially since my crystal ball broke, as long as the investor can be educated as to a range of potential returns...with an emphasis on the minimum expected scenario.

I need a lot of information but mainly guidance on eye balling a property that can have a good profit potential.

The only thing I don't like about the Turn Key model as a buyer is the need for added capital every time to keep the ball rolling. 

They have discovered that the best results is to play hard ball and the sponsors usually miraculously find the money in lieu of foreclosure.

Our agent expects an experienced contractor or investor with loads of cash to make a low-ball offer on this house. 

in Orange Cty NY - I know this is not much to go on - was told the sewer pipe is leaking and needs to be replaced between the street and house - but just wanted a ball park w/in a thousand or sothanks

Are you just low balling?  

Profits will be shared, but the ball keeps rolling.  

If one appraiser is low-balling an area the next one may not.
