I'm looking to move some plumbing lines in a kitchen.

We did as much as we could to the kitchen and bathroom, granite, tile etc but other than that the house does not have much in general to offer.

I don't have the time to rehab and flip/hold (although I would enjoy the learning experience), so I'm here to become the investors go-to guy for evaluating and presenting properties.I'll be looking around for evaluation techniques, as well as estimating a wide variety of rehab repairs (roofs, baths, kitchens, floors, appliances, etc...).I would also be open to local investment clubs to meet like minded members.Thanks for your service!

There is a two bedroom and a one bedroom and a basement unit with 2 bedrooms but no kitchen.

the kitchen could be updated and painted etc....not sure how the determine the value because after all the value is a huge factor in determining what you will get approved for?

Besides that, I don't know who in the heck lived there but it was DIRTY, especially the kitchen which had a nice coating of grease on everything!

What you want to do is what my husband and I have been doing for the past 12 years, we have been doing it this way which is the way it has worked for us:Our first home was a traditional sale FHA the house was outdated it needed a lot of work in kitchen and bathrooms plus carpet, we lived there for a few years mean while we were fixing it little by little with money out of our pockets the home cost us $117k we sold it for $220k, with that money we bought a piece of land (more like a lot) for $35k and built a house on it for $60k sold that one for $120k, we were fortunate to sale the house when price of homes here in AZ were really low we were able to by 2 houses with 120K but they were foreclosures and one needed a lot of work the other one also need some work but not as much so we lived in that one till we finished fixing both up the one that needed a lot of work (ugly one) cost us $40k and we put $20K into it we rent that one out now for $900 per month we are holding it for a few years to avoid paying a lot of taxes, the house has recently been appraised for $136K we have had the house for 2 years.The other house cost us $60K and only had to put $10k into it (we just put new roof, fixed rv gate and painted house inside and out) we sold it about a year ago and sold for $138K, we recently jumped to our next home which we live in it now we got it a year ago for $157K it was a short sale we just painted and fixed the pool and now it has been appraised for $225K.

A few days later over the weekend someone broke into that house and smashed all the drywall, the kitchen, the bathroom and spray painted the walls with the exact same phrases that the illegal dumpers were using while yelling at my workers so it was pretty clear it was the same guys.

It includes no kitchen or bathrooms..

You want to find out if they are open to being a passive investor in a syndication, especially with a first-timer, before you go any further.
