Hello Friends,I own a 1982-built ground-level condo (one unit above, one below).

I'm currently using Rent Redi for 12 doors. 

Class A and B neighborhoods are above median price and C and D are below.

Every little thing in the project should be in writing, even down to the door stops :-) See my tile spec sheet below ...Two problems with your post though - 1) In my experience, most problems come from the customer changing their minds constantly.

The way it comes across is that his insurance payout escapes taxation, as long as it's below basis/purchase price. 

Below is a copy of the SEC statement.

I included a link below to your state's association with all the requirement info.Keep in mind that getting into Real Estate is not a cheap adventure. 

my hope is to get a nice unit for my son at below 50% of retail.  

I actually had come across your post below in the Events forum and thought to myself it would have been nice to attend that to see first hand a local flip and talk shop about the process.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/1215682-chec...I am happy to hear that someone with your experience in the region feels that Westchester is a market with some potential.

You will also want to make sure your fees are in line or below market and your pics are excellent.Check out Tripshock also for tix.Good luck!
