And ultimately, this is the only piece of information I really care about.Not saying that CoC isn't right for you (or that any particular metric isn't right for anyone else)...just that I find it lacking and for me it's just a short-term indicator of the health of a project.I feel you are being generous with those who choose to cite/use CoC.

There is no shortage of information on the subjects that you need help and most RE investors are generous with their time and advice.

On the monetary side, we can do a percentage split of the profits, or I can just pay him like a contractor but with a big bonus for absorbing the cost of the rehab until closing.  

Any appreciation should be considered a bonus for MH.  

Knowing and being comfortable with spanish is a huge bonus! 

@Connie Covert @William Robison @Josh McNicoll Thank you all for your generous input, this definitely will point me in the right direction!

If I get appreciation too, then I consider that a bonus.

I stumbled upon the Forums via a general real estate google search and have inundated myself with a tremendous amount of info from the site since.Simply a gold mine of participants who are so generous with their wisdom and an easy to navigate site. 

The other are bonuses, but not decision makers for me.I would add though, the you still want to analyze the market you are investing in for trends.
