Hi Brandon,On my goal list for 2014 was to ready 20 books lololSo far I have only read 1 and a half lollol :(Don't know how to squeeze in reading with the 100+ hr weeks lollolI am halfway through the Blue Ocean Strategy and after that I have Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren and The Art of War by Sun Tzu lined up.Favorite books are Think and Grow Rich and How to Win Friends and Influence People.Thanks and have a great day.

Buying at $70-80K doesn't sound like any great bargain if it needs substantial repairs.It’s a great deal, so what should I do?

Realtors are very touchy about working with other agents that 1. may influence their activities in other areas of RE and 2. disclosing client relationships to other Realtors (can't hide clients, but no reason to almost advertise them to other agents.)

I'm obviously assuming the house will get substantially more rent than the condo.There are other things to consider and some favor one while some favor the otherFor example Condos almost invariably have a condo association attached and they can be very problematic.

Some non-technical sales type books would be Dale Carnegie's "How to win friends and influence people", Keith Ferrazzi "Never eat alone" and finally anything by Stephen Covey.2.

If it's truly a solid C area with a good rental market then you might have room to do a substantial rehab.

They can be substantial depending on the length of the lease and total lease amount.Good luck getting a commitment from a bank on the refinance loan before you start construction.

Could you please help me design the perfect setup.I have flipped before and under an LLC and am starting to ramp back up.I am very good at taxes and don't want a full partnership to influence all of my deductions.

There's certainly negotiating and influence involved, but you can't make someone be motivated.

.- After doing a substantial number of rehab and resale projects in and around Tulsa, I can tell you it's a tough business and I realized an average profit margin of around 8-10% of sales price.
