Well, after researching Direct TV and preparing to meet the satellite dish installer at our property today, I arrived to find it was Dish Network that the tenant ordered!

I want to get the rental contract signed before he arrives to Mexico.

So doing means arriving at the sort of compact master suite one might expect to  find on a yacht:http://bit.ly/2r5InW31.  

The rent arrives on the 1st of the month or a day or two before.

Like I said, skepticism is good and warranted, but you also need more information to arrive at a conclusion.

One of the things that I continue to struggle with is estimating rehab costs.I often hear Brandon say on his webinars and on his IG account, is that we need to get really good at analyzing properties.That it is important to analyze one deal every day so that we get good at running the numbers accurately...that way, when we do come across a good deal we will have the confidence to take action quickly and make an offer knowing that we have accurate numbers.My problem is that  have not heard him or anyone else talk about how to do an accurate rehab estimate if we are not able to get inside the property.I live in Los Angeles and when I drive for dollars and I find distressed properties that are in need of TLC, I don't have a way to determine if I am dealing with a $100,000 rehab or a $150,000, $200,000 rehab, etc...I would greatly appreciate if someone could speak to this question because whenever I watch Brandon or another expect demonstrate how to use the BP calculator I never get a satisfactory answer about how they arrived at the rehab cost - they just seem to plug numbers.I constantly see video of real estate investors finding a property online and then running the numbers so that they can determine an offering price to the potential seller - But never is there a clear explanation about how they determined their rehab estimate.thanks for any help or insight you can offer.Andrew O.

It’s not uncommon for pajamas to be the dress code and leftovers to be the sole items on the menu for this date.G-Day Arrives (That’s Goal Day for those of you not following along)We usually start the day with a quick gratitude inventory over the previous years’ accomplishments followed by a meditation session to bring the subconscious into the activity.

If you want to network, there's an informal meetup at Heavy Riff Brewing in Dogtown this evening, people will start arriving around 5pm, usually 10-20 people. 

I personally would just handle it, and if it didn't rent right away, you will have to mow another 1-2 times anyway before new tenant arrives.

Would it be better to buy now while I'm overseas or buy upon arrival?
