Obviously you will need to make sure you have access, either through financing or cash, to enough money to finish the actual remodel project.

remember...even though its a few blocks away. some area codes work and some don't (in my expeience)knowing more always helps!

This topic may very well be in here somewhere, but for a recap, can we please get it updated.On the front page of the forum we have access to zillow.com valuations.

every area is differentand in my experience real estate is all LOCALi have find great properties that work..but bad properties only a few block away that don't work. your knowledge in area is a big plus...as for lender or buying whole in cash. i have to say.. do what is right for you. don't listen to others about lenders or banks. its all with the individual.... if you don't feel comfortable...buy all in cash. as for me...i like to leverage since its a form of asset protection and great return for your money. thankssunsmicro

Someday I should write a listOf all the deals that I have missed;Bonanzas that were in my grip—I watched them through my fingers slip;The windfalls which I should haveWere lost because I overthoughtI thought of this, I thought of that,I could have sworn I smelled a rat,And while I thought things over twice,Another grabbed them at the price.It seems I always hesitate,Then make up my mind much too late.A very cautious man am IAnd that is why I wait to buy.When tracks rose high on Sixthand Third,The price asked was, I felt absurd;Those apartment blocks—blackWere priced a thirty bucks a-foot!

I'll also add that my spouse is very handy and the property is one block from us.I guess my question is, is it ok to start out this way?
