Yes these are burnt marks from the previous owner from whom we took over the lease.

@Mark Ainley I will check with our guy to see if he does that area. 

If you want to make a mind shift, actively choose to see the world for more than a nice pad and a useless carbon fiber wings on a car that will probably never be on a track.To fight the millions of Instagram posts and heavy marking in mass media that try to drive me toward useless consumer spending, I try to keep my mind and desires in check by getting a does of reality.Last year I took several weeks to motorcycle through Vietnam and took donations to several orphanages.

Although as a newbie I think I´d feel more confortable keeping local for now, I am shopping right now so I will mark Columbus on my list as one of the best places to invest.

@Mark Pedroza - yup!

By leasing or buying a piece of semi-rural land, you can learn the business, test your marking skills, and get a start there.

I know it’s easy to get hung up on the 70% ARV minus reno costs guidelines… but when you are going for volume, it can be tough to find enough “homerun” deals.At some point, I believe you are better off taking the doubles instead of passing and waiting.So, when selling lower end homes around the $200-250k ARV mark, how much should you be reasonably looking to make on these flips?

My contractor said it would be around $130/sq foot, but that he could mark the permits at 100k and tack the remainder of the balance onto my personal property.
