Almost 20 years old, in the middle of college, and I really want to use Real Estate as my tool to financial independence.Now I'm not asking for intro to Real Estate material or anything.

The "we buy houses model" that's not a great dealA 70% of ARV minus costs equal $70,000 -10,000 materials and labor equal $60,000A better way is to use private money is for the REI is to borrow from a private lender $10,000 for materials and labor and do a JV with the sellerThere is pretty low risk for minor rehabs with new people, and I do understand what the OP is feeling that private lender money can get you in trouble if not used responsibly.But you got to get started somehow!

Thanks @Paul Timmins for the material!

Though there are clear benefits of land-based taxation, it is unclear whether these benefits will actually materialize in practice.

Using new technology, advanced equipment, unique methods with new materials for old applications (Aqua Therm and Rust Stopping Paint) and sophisticated logistics (with highly skilled personnel) TMG, Inc. creates solutions, resulting in approved operating costs.

They are usually pretty good at describing what techniques and materials they would use.

There is a ton of reading material on here in the form of blog posts, articles, books and how-to guides which should help you start to zero in on which aspect of real estate investing is most intriguing to you.

So long as you don't over-improve and you use durable high quality materials it will be well worth your while.

Being conservative I think materials and labor will cost me only between $5-10k.

For instance if they knew of a material defect and they did not disclose they can still be held liable in some cases.Who closed this a title company or an attorney??
