The art of buying foreclosures and auction properties is one that I've often been warned to stay away from, yet it always intrigued me.

Estimating how much rent I might expect to get based on the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, area and finishes seems to be an art form.

My goal is to invest in a multifamily house ( 1st house), I just joined BG pro, and now I am trying to learn Real Estate as much as possible.I was in Art majors but became a chef now... 

I personally don't think it's worth paying mid 4-5 figures for someone to pick out couches, wall art etc.

It's important to maintain a good relationship with your agent and understand that each offer requires effort and time on their part.Contracts and Email: Yes, in today's digital age, contracts are often sent and even signed electronically.

Not a major issue, per se, but a convenience.I think what you will ultimately find though is that no matter the calculator/model you are using, the art comes in the actually assumptions you are making.  

My advise is to invest in an electronic application so they can pull the information you need on credit history and criminal records.  

The top level consists of a three-bedroom plus a full bathroom (used as the primary residence) and a studio with a full bathroom that was previously used as an art space.
