Technically, I started real estate investing about 11 years ago in my last year of college.

We actually had this conversation when we were in Destin this last weekend and he was looking at doing a development deal with one of his college buddies. 

And a separate form authorizing that you are permitted to contact landlords.

I am currently a college student and I am trying to get my foot in the door. 

@VAUGHN BLACKThe Lancaster group meets 3rd Thursday 7 PM at Lancaster Bible college.

So I asked him, "did you pull permits for all this work?"

I am currently a college senior at Old Dominion University.

I work full time as a Operations Manager and a semester away from college graduation, so I'm pretty busy and from what I read investing in real estate becomes a full-time job.Any advise would help, should I search for "multi-families" or "flips"?  

And Rehab Costs would be the cost to tear down and construct the new property, including all hard and soft costs that aren't factored into the Fixed Costs.For example, if I have a house that I can tear down and rebuild a 2000 sf property that would sell for $400K; it would cost $100/sf to tear down and rebuild; I'd have $50K in Fixed Costs; and I'd want a 20% profit on the resale price ($80K), my max purchase price for the tear down would be:MPP = $400K - $50K - $80K - $200K = $70KKeep in mind that the rehab costs must account for all of the following:- Site Planning- Zoning Approvals- Utility Installation- Permits/Impact Fees- Environmental Studies- Etc...If these costs aren't factored into the per-square-foot construction costs, you need to factor them in separately. 

For instance, I imagine you could paint the property yourself and not get in trouble but anything major, for instance that requires a permit, would need to be done by a GC.I would recommend calling some local lenders in your area, find one or two who are familiar with 203k loans and ask them.Cheers!
