I also pay $70 for a cleaning company to do a basic cleaning my 1000 sqaure foot apt every other week.I also think the company screwed you, if they say they are going to give you a good cleaning for $180 thats what they should do.

So basically, I need to make sure my college student tenants do not throw a party twice a year or I'm done.

In case you're not familiar with what a bird dog is - or what a bird dog does - they are basically scouts that sniff out deals for you.

because basically to me there is no set true value even when both you and seller agree on the income the property produces.Example....a property generating 100K and a asking price of 1.4M equals a cap rate of 7.

I realize this is really basic but I'm new to this.Thanks a lot,Will

Develop a spreadsheet that will help you perform a takeoff on the specific elements of the project and associate costs to those tasks.

So, my more basic analysis would use 100% financing (just to evaluate the deal) and a 30 year note.Then the payment is $170 and Cash flow is $54.

Another really basic question: How do you get an FSBO house appraised?

Some do, but to get title free and clear is a little extra work, time and money.I advise people that tax liens need to be looked at as a savings account that might end up in owning some property at a later time.That being said, John Beck is basically useless except for piqueing one's interest in tax liens.

The basic premise in investing in anything is to always sell for more than the cost at which you bought.
