I'm figuring we would spend 4k on materials 0 on labor.

The capabilities I need in place are:CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system able to interface with listing management softwareDeal analysis software capable of producing cash flow projections, DCF analysis, ROI calculations, etc.Customizable marketing solution that creates external materials to distribute to customers and clients (created automatically based off listing)Project management tracking that interfaces with CRMMaximum exposure for our listingsMaximum exposure for our company brandI have been analyzing the following software, but I know there are many others out there:Costar, RealNex, Salesforce, Commercial Search, CIMLS, Commrex, Loopnet, BizBuySellI really appreciate any feedback or experiences people are willing to share. 

I've been through a lot that material but there's still a ton left to take in.

We plan to use higher end materials and finishes to cater to buyers in this market, and ideally would find someone with experience building in this town.  

I would recommend you add your down payment, the cost of any materials that will be installed in the home and he cost to demolish and remove the remnants of the home if it is destroyed to the loan amount.

I have come to a point where I have read a decent amount of material but at the same time I feel for me to really learn and feel comfortable in investing I need a more hands on approach.

Perhaps a little higher in LA because the labor cost will be a bit higher, but material cost is roughly equivalent and total cost is not 3x. 

Not a bad place to find some great material and to educate yourself!

But talking down to me why I would buy trash makes zero sense to him while insinuating I don't care about value is quite upsetting when I come to bigger pockets for the first time with a real life RE problem... a place where you can get differentiating opinions to grow from, but not be smashed down from an arrogant broker while you are trying to get your feet wet in a game that this website promotes.
