I plan to attract investors with thorough and precise analysis of great deals and am currently looking for partners I can share these deals with.

This town has a lot of opportunity in it, but when you're new it's hard to attract great partners.

A couple things to consider:The infrastructure was designed to support a specific development (number of parcels, certain square footage and/or water consumption). 

If an agent comes back with similar numbers, it seems pretty attractive.

@Dave Nixon Interesting you picked up on this...small town churches are dropping like flies...I manage large capital improvement projects on institutions...just keep in mind that you'll be working with a lot of different entities, including an architect/designer, engineer, industrial compliance...likely other entities from the government and/or municipality...lots of moving parts.You should be aware of Asbestos abatement and concerns like underground storage tanks...which are very common in all these buildings you are referencing...design and abatement fees may run hundreds of thousands of dollars before the project even starts...Not saying you can't pull it off, just be aware...good luck! 

I would say that to show her all the reasons of recommendations that she gets like total income and spreading out her income over years may that possibly reduce her income  liabilityover several years be attractive enough.

If its a two day project and 500 per per day, that's 1,000.There are a lot of variable, if contractor has to meet with you couple times to review design plan, pick up materials etc... 2500 may be reasonable. 

I'd prefer a property that only needs cosmetic work and is located near a good part of town as well as an "attraction"- ie baseball stadium, hospital, concert venue- so I'll have the option to Air Bnb if I choose to. 2) Generally, which city has a higher profit on rentals?

If you're good at it though and you can make it as an agent and investor the real estate professional designation is sweet for taxes. :)
