You are likely looking at needing 1.5M including closing costs.I love the MHP investment model.

A professional opinion of what it will take to get the deal done... so figure about three to four hours (probably more) 3 times per week, a bunch of additional back office time, and the benifit of her years of expertise learned in the buying and selling of a couple hundred houses including some of their own flips and rental properties.So, you want this "lazy" agent for whom you have no rspect to put in 50 to 60 hours of time for you over a span of a couple of months... probably much than that.

I am not in a position to tell others how to run their business, only to tell them how I would answer their specific questions in light of my business models.

Both have their benefits, and there are business models where it makes sense.

If all proceeds well, I might increase my investing to two or three small properties as my confidence and expertise grows.  

Many of these apartment vendors have regional buying power, use professional communication, and manage the subcontractors; so, it's a completely different business model, pricing and service level.  

It's not to say these people are unethical in any way, it's just that this model doesn't build in a need for each party to work toward your long-term satisfaction if it's going to cost them additional time and money.A full service turnkey operator is responsible for the whole process and accountable to you for every single step.

I looked up the age using the website http://www.bradfordwhite.com/find-your-model-and-s... and found this bad boy was made in 1995!!!! 

Any success stories that I can model my deal after?
