I made that mistake a lot in the beginning - yes putting in new cabinets will be great but it won't impact value much in some of the neighborhoods I'm investing in, for example.If you're local to the area, I think this is a great way to start in the REI world!

I had to file a lawsuit against the builder in Panama for nefarious behavior and not doing what he said.The lawsuit started in 2019 and it is still ongoing.

(About 8%)I’ve probably started 3-4 evictions,every tenant moved out before we got to court. 

I use AirDNA as a starting point then check that number against what units are doing on the booking sites (Airbnb/VRBO). 

Just starting out here.

Hi All,I'm in the process of pivoting 3 units from a build to sell townhome project to rentals and looking for some entity structure advice. 

Great company that started out as crowd funding and transitioned into a REIT.  

There may be additional zoning or building requirements depending on the number of rooms in the unit.

Build a team. 

An approach you might want to take, is to break down each component of the rehab into its own price per sqft/linear foot/units for both materials and for labor.for example you might find that flooring costs and average of $3.50/sqft labor to install + $3.00/sqft for materials X square feet = cost to refloor+ always add an extra 10% for unforseensSo you would just need to do this for every part of the rehab based on what needs to be done and what level of finish you are going for.keep in mind that some things are measured by sqft, like floor, and others are measured by linear foot, like trim, and some are measured by total area, like drywall and paint, and yet others are measured per each like tubs and toilets.A good place to start with figuring costs is The Book On Estimating Rehab Costs by J.
