@Peter Buccowich It seems like the warranty is Only for the portions/areas they stabilized, not other areas they weren’t hired to stabilize, which makes perfect sense. 

If your intent is to buy and hold, the house has multiple stories, has brick walls, and you intend to hire a foundation repair crew, the foundation "repairs" may eat your lunch.

.#3 Contact Local Contractors for Labor Pricing / Hire a GC to ConsultCall local Subcontractors and get budget pricing for common repairs on your typical rehab project.For example, call a roofer and ask what their average cost per Square of Architectural Asphalt Shingle Roofing would be on a 1,500 sf house, with a 6/12 pitch.Note: Some contractors will be reluctant to share pricing without seeing the property, but tell them you are just looking for a rough budget number you can use on future projects.You can also pay a General Contractor a consulting fee of a couple of hundred dollars (per house) to walkthrough a few properties with you and provide a detailed estimate of prices that you can use as your 'menu for future projects.#4 Compile Your Prices into a Spreadsheet or Estimating SoftwareOnce you start to get a better understanding of Labor and Material costs you will want to store this data into a spreadsheet or software that you can use to help you streamline the estimating process.The Book on Estimating Rehab Costs comes with a spreadsheet that you can use to help you populate your own database of labor pricing and material pricing.

I was just told that I do not need to hire a lawyer when buying property in Indiana.

When I applied for the rental permit, I got this message.Looking over the rental registration paperwork with the New Castle County parcel information it shows it to be 100% basement, but doesn’t show any basement % finished.I had checked in the original building permit and on the certificate of occupancy (12/19/03), and it doesn’t list a finished basement on them documents either.

I was the agent, New Era Construction ran most of the rehab for me with some other sub-contractors that I hired for plumbing, electrical, paint, landscaping. 402 Title services closed the loan and they do a great job for my other clients too.

The IRS has hired a lot of new, young and agressive auditors to target depreciation schedules.

You will have to hire someone to come to perk tests for your soil.

There is no extra tax preparation for an LLC that is set up by a trust and it does not take hours to set one up if you hire an expert.
