Thanks your thoughts are very much appreciated Joe!

It won't be spot-on, and I wouldn't bid the job using the number or apply for a loan using the number - but I would and routinely do use it to determine whether or not a given wholesaler's deal is worth investigating further (spoiler alert: it's usually not).As I said in my first post, you'll need to update the numbers since it's been a few years since the book was published, and labor & material prices haven't really rebounded since Harvey.

Hi Joe,Were you part of the class action lawsuit?

@Joe S.

@Joe P.

@Joe Stout if you have an LLC and that LLC owns this business then yes your income/expenses should "run through your LLC".

@Joe S. yes that's what I'm trying to figure out at this point.

As for the purchase part, definately going to repeat the recommendation from @Joe Funari of finding an agent that is also an investor and I would also encourage you to look at the property through the eyes of an investor. 

@Joe Stout not scalable but I have heard people say stay in it and you will find out what's missing.
