The number of deals you'll actually get is a function of your conversion rate:Deals = Pageviews * Conversion RateThis equation can give you a rough idea of how much traffic you need to get to your site to get the number of deals you're looking for.  

I like to plan ahead ;) I like the idea of showing the place once I get their notice to fill in any gaps. 

I 2nd the idea of looking into Moab.

There isn't a lot of inventory that goes up for rent in Morningside, so I'm having a little trouble determining the rate.  3/2 ranch, completely renovated approx 1800 sq ft zoned for morningside elementary.any ideas as to what the rent could be?

Great idea I wish my schedule at my full time wasn't so hectic

I haven't decide what I'm going to do yet because my previous offer just got declined =(  If I do ever land a deal it will be my first rehab project, I guess I can do the the design work just by looking at some reference catalog or get ideas from looking at new houses.  

Also good idea is to get a verification that they have their own workmen s comp insurance, so your not stuck if they get injured on your site, you simply ask them to have their insurance guy send you a certificate of insurance made out to you, for your address your having the work preformed at.

I have no idea where to start, but I am hard working and willing to do my best to make this dream a reality. 

Crap idea.  

We're hoping that we can manage to get tenants to turn over in the summer, where we can spend a couple of weeks down in DC combining a little vacation in the place with fixing things up and finding a new tenant).Of course I made some mistakes already, too, but I think I'll get away with them this time...So after getting my feet wet, I've been reading about REI, and we do have cash / equity (our primary home is just about paid off) to stuff with, so now I'm considering to get into it in a non-accidental way, and it seems more prudent to look at our local area (NH seacost), but it turns out I have little idea about the purchase/rental market here, and it doesn't seem all that easy to find out (in NoVA, at least, there's a very active market, while here prices seem to fluctuate wildly for no obvious (to me) reason.
