WIthout prior experience flipping, what are the best ways to estImate and strategize how much rehab wIll cost up front (resources, professIonals, etc?)?

Good mornin' folks,I am currently a financial planner in the DFW area researching the financial needs of real estate professionals.

2) Are you engaged in the trade or business of professional fishing? 

Also, make sure this conforms to the neighborhood, in some cases losing a garage and gaining livable space can cost value.As always, seek professional advice.

(It phases out between 100 and 150k)Not a cpa, see a tax professional

@Jake Keating I’d suggest consulting with a local tax and/or estate planning professional for advice on this issue to make sure you get the best advice for your specific situation. 

Good deals don't last.As always, seek professional advice.

Professionals in the business long term have to think about the RELATIONSHIPS that have been formed over decades.

Lots of things that can happen but hire professionals when you can and maybe partner up or consult with someone locally that has been through the process.

I think that it would be really important for you to consult with a RE professional to evaluate the true price of your property to make sure that your numbers are correct as well as partner with a rental and property manager to know that your asset is well protected.
