It lookes like a pot-of-gold...

Also, another thing I was thinking about is if I just setup a joint account and them just adding to there account.

Also, one thing that somewhat concerns me is that I'm trying to find average rental price for the building but I can't seem to find much except this one ad for a studio that shows up everywhere (on all the rental sites).

I’d like to make my first deal and plan on living it in for at least two years fixing it up and adding to its value.So, here’s the deal I found this week, a place in an up and coming neighborhood which is on a long 50x126 lot and has a building in the back which the current owner is turning into a small one bed room apartment upstairs (big enough for me for now) and a small studio apartment downstairs.

Because of the additional superior features and services provided by the hotel, Condotel Suites are normally valued 15 to 20 % higher than same size residential units without added hotel features and amenities....

I want to get started on flipping properties and I saw an ad on tv about flipping houses through the internet.

if you added zeros by mistake.

Have you "added extras" like saying, "take me on part timeand I'll redo your website for free"?

Barring those 2 situations, what is the value-added that we as investors can bring that he homeowner can't?

it's real easy for the wifey to say, "oh honey, i want a new kitchen floor" 6 months later, "oh this damn sink and bathroom, i hate it" and 1 year later, "what if we added another room, knock this wall down, and buy a new refridgerator...."
