I had hoped based on the Spring/Summer craze that we may enter the best fall/winter leasing season we've ever had, however it seems to be following the normal trend of this time of year.

The landlord has seemingly returned his blood pressure to a normal level.

Investors who are going to give you large sums of money to invest beyond maybe the down payment on a 2-4 unit multi family will want to know that you’ve got some years of experience under your belt and some skin in the game.

Normally, you honk your car horn till the offender shows up, often in a few minutes.

So, if the one crew that worked on this job normally does $50,000 to $60,000 worth of business every month, then, I have to ask whether or not this $45,000 job was worth giving up $50,000 to $60,000 in business for very simple jobs that take 1 to 2 days and because the $45,000 job cost so much more for materials I figure that I lost a lot of potential business and would rather have walked away from the $45,000 job.Everything is about the final numbers and you have to do the math, diligently, or you never know the truth and only guess and invest blindly.

Is this normal? 

Is this normal?

A normally overlooked aspect of construction/development is not comparing the opportunity cost of getting into another property in less time and less money out the gate, so keep that in mind.

We normally have a few guest speakers, food and a ton of smart investors to network with.

@Garret Anthony Central Ohio has some great opportunities for the long term...and C-class value add MF is the way to go...finding the deal is the hard part....most agents and wholesalers are looking in the 1-4 unit range by default...I would recommend buying as many units as you possible can out of the gate...don't fool around with duplexes if you have $200k to spend...it will take longer, but a deal that meets your criteria will come along...or a possible partnership with a like minded investor that can put some skin in the game...
