My wife does staging and listing for a few select rehabbers in our area (mostly investors we're friends with), and we're very picky about who we'll work with, as anything we put our name on (even as a listing agent) reflects on us and our brand.

I haven't been in a while, but you'll meet lots of people at various stages in their real estate endeavors.

I would include in your planning stages everything you will need to get the deals completed as well.

Therefore, I have decided that capital growth through leverage is of maximal importance at this stage - I will forego cash flow now in order to acquire assets that, upon retirement, will eclipse in value the cash flow I would have received today.

If there are active violations that have still not be corrected then they cannot be closed and you will continue to be responsible for the fines, which in Pinellas county cities will generally have a tab running at $100+/day for uncorrected violations that have hit the lien stage.

Both bc we aren't at contract stage so just feeling them out.

Im in the early stages of closing on my first fixer-upper.

The picture I got from overstock just to stage this house.

I am at the same stage as you. about to buy my first property and was also thinking of creating an llc. but because i have to buy the property in my own name first, transferring the tiltle to the llc cost a bit of money.I recently talked with a big time investor in my area and he told me to create a real estate trust instead. which cost nothing and has all the same benefits of the llc.

I am at the same stage as you so keep the motivation up and keep your eyes on BP.
