Once I have this criteria sorted, I look what development is going on and what appears to be the "path of progress".

With only being introduced to Real Estate at the end of November I am anxious to see the results of our first yellow letter campaign.I'm using this post to update the progress of the campaign on a regular basis, also it will help me keep track of my progress throughout this next month!

I will be working on my 506C to expand my contacts.As a retired Army guy I have some goals and aspirations to reach in Real Estate.Connecting with some Private Money Lenders is on my listas I continue the progression of Real Estate Investing.Send a private message if needed.I look forward to connecting soon.Dale

Knowing banks, and that the are risk averse, I can see they want a steady cash flow to pay them regardless of if I ever make $, lol.

Do this right away.You can always work out your branding and marketing as you progress.

@J Martin -- thanks for the great insight... that Oakland deal sounds exciting, and will definitely colleague request you to see how things progress.

I talked to everyone about it, when I purchased the truck, it was super ugly at purchase, but I took pictures, and showed everyone when I made new progress.

I have a steady job and am able to save about $1,250 a month on average.

Good luck - please keep us updated on your progress!

In fact, that is probably where I'd price it as it's just under the psychologically important $250K mark.So, assuming $40K for the foundation work, then another $60K (tops) to renovate (that number is a work in progress), I would hope to have no more than $160K in a house that should sell *very* quickly for $220K net of closing help and other seller concessions.These numbers are still very fluid, however.
