I like this one for several reasons ... first, you can normally get a bigger discount buying all cash, Second, it matches the leverage against the risk profile, meaning that you are unleveraged in the beginning when you are learning and there are a lot of uncertainties with a distressed, unrented property, you then reduce this uncertainties with the 1st 3 R's before you leverage up.

Bring a general contractor with you to the property and let them teach you how to identify problems and opportunities for improvement to bring the property to its full value.Go down to Home Depot and other individual wholesale materials stores and get a list of prices for everything you might use on this flip and every future flip.Go to the professionals desk at Home Depot and ask about discounts for bulk items purchased.It takes practice and a lot of trial and error at first to perfect the techniques to estimate costs.

It's tougher than you think to buy a property at a discount and sell it immediately, or even within one month, as Shari's company seems to allow.

Two of the upstairs bathroom showers have cracked tile.

Ask anyone of them and tell them I sent you, so you get my discount.

I was lining up other people's cash so they could re-discount works performed and they wait for their check.

This group seems to have very little motivation to sell at a discount because they bought super low, put in work recently, are cash flowing very nicely and want a higher pay off on their time/money invested.I think anyone who bought before the crash, had to sit and watch their equity drop and is now watching it rebound will be much more motivated to sell at a discount to get out while they're even or ahead.

It sounds to me like they would only take into account the forced appreciation from improvements we have done (new roof, remodeled bathroom), and would not take into account market appreciation.  

Do you discount back the "internet fee" or just tell them they're paying for it whether they use it or not.And those vandals masquerading as cable technicians drive me nuts.

However, I think the property is selling a very nice discount.
