@Brian Burns, I have a very targeted neighborhood, and walk it frequently with my husband and children.

I just had a 5 bedroom 2 bath single family home burn down.

Account ClosedI've been burned plenty of times by HOAs John even though I just  pocketed upwards of $150K in profits from the sale of two condos.

I currently own 19 rental units and have basically done everything myself and worked myself to near burn out. 

@Cassidy Burns  Same way you find a mate, you've got to kiss a lot of frogs...I usually do the planning but I listen to the contractors suggestions.

Hey,  compared to what is out there nationwide ( many burned out cities with bad weather)  this looks very attractive.

Hi all,I had a really good warm lead to an investor-friendly real estate agent, but following up has burned a week.

@Joe Burns I am quickly realizing that doing the work yourself is not always the best option.Does anyone recommend any particular estimating/planning software or spreadsheets to manage how you evaluate a house?

There are SOOOO many ways to get burned in a multifamily transaction that it is not even funny.

Not to mention you could have other damage (i.e. burn marks in carpet, etc).
