This page has been so useful numerous times through just a Google search, so I finally decided to make an account.

Their finally offer was at 215k and I accepted.

She essentially averaged the final sale prices per square foot to arrive at a year over year gain of about 6%.  

One weekend open house with over 200 families came, received 7 offers and 3 are cash offers, final price is $875,000.

and decided I feel confident enough in my plan to finally make a post in hopes to reach out and start connecting with other investors, contractors, lenders, agents, ect! 

My name is Desiny, I'm a senior in college just a few months from graduating (finally!).

I cant wait to see the final pictures.

Be very conservative on your ARV (final sale could be 10%-15% below your asking), don't forget to factor in construction overruns and discovery work (typically budget a 15% cushion), don't forget to budget acquisition costs (6%-10% of purchase price), selling costs (6%-10% of ARV) and holding costs (be conservative it will almost always take longer than you think or than your contractor tells you and may take more time than anticipated to sell and for buyers to secure funding).  

I was a math professor for 14 years and then a drilling fluids engineer until a few weeks ago when the low oil prices finally took my job. 

I finally did a quit claim because my lawyer advised me it could be another year in the courts and more costs at which point, I'd be just proving a point rather than getting any of my investment back.
