Hey other Pros, newbies and inbetweeners!I'm in my mid-twenties working in NYC and work as a Project Manager for a GC and would like to move from Brooklyn to Jersey to kick off my journey, while in close proximity to ...

I started in the RE game by helping my father Property Manage and fix up our family owned duplex when I was a young man.

Just use that for short term plays.

That may work in Texas where that is a way of life but in most of the rest of the country, the asset manager actually has to do some work and tell the contractor what improvements to make.If you're new to the game, I recommend you read everything you can find by Dave Lindahl and Ken Mcelroy.And it also depends heavily on the property you are working on.But here are the basics.First, fix up the exterior.

Turning out to be a kinda rough market in my eyes but then again I am new to the game lol.

And some will take this further by saying that if there are landlord paid utilities, one can expect expenses to be an even higher percentage of rent (60% is a figure that gets tossed into play).Search the BP site to find threads that discuss those in greater detail.

They have more skin in the game then you do.Make sure you get clear title.

All the homes that I have flipped have taken about 3 months from start to finish, which has been alright but I'm hoping to up my game as well. 

An attorney can help you with the paperwork and will probably be less expensive than an agent for those particular discreet tasks.A title company won't come into play until you have all of the documents you need in place already. 

Wanna play it safe buy a McDonalds.
