I’m doing my research/analyzing deals, but wanted to see if anyone would be willing to share their experiences:1.

If 1 person gets 2 letters, one sends them to their professional and credible website, that shows how many reviews they have, happy clients, shows how awesome they flip the houses, has 3 blogs is involved with the community and has a tremendous web presence... and the other... nothing...if it were you, which card would you call?

A drywall guy once told me that a quick way to calculate a whole house worth of work is to multiply the living sq footage by 3.5 then divide that by 48 sq ft ( 12 ft drywall ) and then multiply times per sheet cost.This is probably more applicable for new construction or full gut jobs.Thanks for sharing this quick calc.

Feel free to share any insight into the 1031 exchange process.Thank you

I was a banker for many, many years with both big and community banks.

Hi Bigger Pockets community, wanted to learn more about short term real estate investments, and house flipping from a local in the Seattle area.

But that's really not my cup of tea... well, maybe instagram but probably more of a marketing instead of documenting) , and third I want to share this with the biggerpocket community! 

You’re in the right place the BP community is highly responsive and supportive.

There are also various Excel templates available that can help you track expenses, income, and more.Networking: You're already on the right track by seeking connections within the Bigger Pockets community.

So, I will share my opinion and leave it for other, more tenured investors, correct me.This is my understanding: your goal is to get the property at such price and location that it would make sense for investor (your buyer) to purchase from you and do whatever they want to do with it.
