There's a high-efficiency American Standard down in that basement now.We plan on leaving our cash in the property for now.

Make an offer based on calculation of ARV-renovation at 70-75% LTV.I am wondering what methods other investors have implemented to more efficiently attain bids and renovation numbers.  

I love the resourcefulness you showed in using freelancers to make the marketing material professional, yet cost efficient. 

That has served me in athletics, the military, school, and the traditional work place.

I know purchasing off the shelf designs can be cheaper and time efficient, just wondering what your strategy was.4) Did you partner with anyone on this deal or was this a solo deal?   

Almost all beginners never close a single deal, it's just more efficient to spend all their time on deals they know will close. find great people, show them that you are great, then you'll lock something down. also, in terms of estimates.

Right now leaning towards renting for a year or two, while we get more familiar with the area and figure out if we want to have another kid.Despite that, We'd be willing to buy, especially if the location is close to our family and if the home has an efficiency we could rent out.

I've seen since 2012 the interest shifting toward modern homes with new sleek and efficient and cost effective designs

I learned here what a successful syndicator is exemplified as and what it takes to execute effectively and efficiently.

Don't be discouraged by the cost since as others mentioned, you will save CPA costs if your books and accounting process are set up properly and efficiently.
