Min $4000 (basic necessities), comfortably (for us), $6000.

Was it done on purpose or out of necessity?  

I know it's not a necessity to be a real estate agent in order to invest but I was wondering if it would be worth my time and effort to go ahead go for it.

So I almost thinks it's a necessity for my work to be able to talk all of them.

Regrettably the public does not understand the necessity of so called "slumlords".

It also reinforces the necessity to work with either a mentor or an experienced syndicator while executing your first syndication to have someone experienced watch over your shoulder just in case.  

I have been wondering though, how much interaction is there between your CPA and attorney and is a good working relationship between the two a necessity as you progress in real estate?

And crossing state lines makes this even more of a necessity so as to not blur the lines of coverage. 

The only costs are finding them and finding rehabbers (but that is minimal too.)Now as others have mentioned, if the costs of finding (which could be as little as walking around the neighborhood and as great as a full-blown ad campaign) takes away from your necessities, then you can not afford it.

It also seems like almost a necessity to get top dollar.
