I didn't even think to check the real figure - thank you for the heads up.

@Albertinny Colin I was hoping that I would come to this thread and find a bunch of people touting DMM and cold calling, but @Brendan Lawrence hit this one right on the head.

Hello ,I ve acquired a property in central PA and am renovating it before renting out. I have bids from 3 contractors so far and am getting big variations between contractor quotes.Wondering what the approximate costs...

This an exciting puzzle @Michael Heisterkamp still trying to wrap my head around your third example.

Ive thought about water efficient toilets and aerator faucets and shower heads.

I found myself in that head-space and almost made a bad decision on a home that ended up needing an 80k foundation repair, and a lot of people found themselves in that head-space in 2007.

I know that it's also often the case that older seasoned investors get really excited about enthusiastic young folks getting a head start on their REI journey, and are more than happy to help them along … I hope you encounter more of that in the future! 

Thank you @Ben Leybovich for the great podcast episode breaking this down so I can wrap my head around this concept: https://justaskbenwhy.com/2019/04/23/understanding-the-cap-rate/In SFH the measure of the market is going to be mainly what other comparable SFH are selling for.

This may seem like a silly question, but there is surprisingly very little literature that answers this question head-on : my spouse and I bought an apartment abroad, that we will rent out once we have put it in rentable condition.
