You would need to take a property run down in an A area and inject it with rehab to buy at a lower price or maybe build new from the ground up.

For instance, Benjamin Moore Affinity Collection has 140 colors specifically designed for their Aura Paints to help the DIYer pull off a more sophisticated and cohesive palette.

Run a search and you'll find it.

I was just wondering if this could potentially run me several hundred dollars or several thousand dollars.

I want to ask those experienced in California about the best purchase and assignment contracts to use so that we don't run into any legal issues.Any feedback is greatly appreciated.Thanks

The deferred maintenance - hallways dark and dingy, the small gym looked old and run down, and other things like that - started to worry me in that they would not be fixed or get worse.

Hello Everyone,I am working my way through my first property analysis and I could use some help.It is a 4 unit apartment building in Scotia NY. I was able to look up the property taxes, calculate my mortgage and insur...

If you can find a local lender that'll review your paperwork, run your numbers, and show you their math, you're doing pretty good.

However, since both units are rented this would be classified as an investment property in which case your rate will probably be 4.00% to 4.250% on a 30yr fixed depending on FICO credit score.The maximum loan to value for a cash-out transaction (investment property, duplex) is 70%.Based on the information you've provided it doesn't appear the value is high enough for the property to be eligible for a cash-out transaction but you can still remove PMI.If you want to send me a PM I can run a complete analysis to see if removing the PMI will offset the slightly higher interest rate.I'm also licensed in CA so if you're looking to purchase a property I can help with that transaction as well.

The problem is that most agents don't want to run around and show you 30-40+ houses, put in a bunch of low offers just to find out you can't qualify down the road (not saying you can't qualify, but they don't know that)..
