With G-d's help, in four short months the bankers and managers at my bank know me by first name, I have assembled two separate rehab teams that will follow me to the end, the Housing Authority officials think Im God (funny story, for a different time), I've had lunch with the founder of the largest tax lien buying company in Chicago, I have four big players as mentors and friends and I have true satisfaction in every waking hour of my day.

I sound like such a newbie but I am on the transaction end doing sales in commercial and the landlord and contractor part I am newer at.On the commercial land development projects I would assemble the parcels but didn't mess with the construction or the budget side much.Always more to learn.I appreciate the Dalton connection for savings J Scott.I am wondering if I sign up for Home Depot or Lowe's and save 10 to 20% on what I buy plus they install reasonably and I do Loc's suggestion of buying gift cards for less than face value if I can get for 50 to 60 cents on the dollar for rehab.

There may be questions in between inspections; framing, thermal and then finish.I wouldn't think of NOT mechanically fastening the wall assembly.

If you want to know the differences, take an educational course outside the world of gurus, who present real property as widgets off an assembly line.

@Davinder HansFire separations are assemblies not just one of the components.  

To date, have been unable to assemble the skills to cost-effectively perform such retrofits in remote markets and have yet to find a turn-key operator who puts efficiency at the core of their product.   

I currently work as a Senior Assembler for Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc., in Pullman, WA, and am looking into real estate investing as a means for bolstering my future, retirement income.

Unlike a listed property where an agent has gone in and provided an estimate of value that is agreeable to the seller and then after signing an exclusive listing agreement provides all of the financial data for the broker to assemble into a report format, you instead are a stranger.You're not a broker, but instead are a potential buyer.

Are there any spreadsheeta that can help assemble and make sense of the data?

If it is approved by the Assembly Housing Committee on January 11, 2018, the Assembly Housing Committee will vote to grant local governments the power to prevent rent increases at the time of initial and subsequent rentals.
