I look at every single item in the pro forma and imagine that it is complete BS, and see if I can challenge it.

It was enough time to put together an overnight bag with a few essentials, and Torres told the woman she could come back for bigger items later.

It’d be great to know a little more about your market preferences and non-negotiables, since Alabama’s pretty diverse in terms of what it can offer.For example, the Huntsville area is a much higher-growth market than Birmingham, and the median home in each area is priced accordingly to reflect that difference.Even individual markets can vary widely by zip code—properties in a Birmingham suburb like Forestdale are going to fetch dramatically different rents than homes in a neighborhood like Mountain Brook or Vestavia Hills.In any case, let us know what your buying criteria look like, and we can give more pointed recommendations.

As you get up and running, having a diverse range of contacts— from wholesalers to hard money lenders — means more opportunities.

It's so great to see someone with such diverse experiences in real estate here on the forums.

Miami has a diverse market, and many buyers might actually appreciate the mixed-use neighborhood. 

Because I pay for the materials, I know the cost of each items now.
