Howdy All, I have motivated sellers looking for buyers in military communities. Properties are older ranging from $20K-$50K and needing about $30K-$50K in repairs. Rents of properties that are updated range from $1,20...

Hi BP,I am seeking any resources (books, websites, software, etc) to help educate myself on home design and renovations - particularly those focusing on the exterior of homes.

Is this a well stablished developer that has been doing this for years or is he starting out and willing to accept less of a percentage just to get some deals going?

I also run a small fund that does development so I can appreciate it from both sides. 1.
