(c) Of course, ALWAYS focus on the ROI (return-on-investment) to determine if the effort and time are worth the work.By no means is this a complete guide, however I hope it gives you focal points to work with in making your choices.

I am a contractor in Lubbock and just ran a model for 30 units (5 bldgs of 6 units) single story (this is popular in Lubbock) My cost to build was about $85-$90/sf (excluding the cost of land). 

I asked my title company choice for their closing costs and they told me an estimate.

I haven't yet met with anyone yet but keller williams is top of my list with real estate one as my second choice just from reading about them.

Would a Realtor be a better choice or am I giving up more advantageous leads that a PM may have (i.e. wholesalers)?

So I am reaching out to the BP community for advice and or possible investment opportunity for someone.I do not have all the details as of yet, but what I know is the property sits on a double lot one block from the beach (in a very popular beach town).

That way he wouldn't have a choice.

. :-)I reinvest all profits, just was thinking this could help make decisions more black and white.Paying a handyman $30/hr for 20hrs($600) hurts, compared to doing it myself for free, but If I had to pay myself $1,000, the numbers (my business bank account) would show that the correct choice is to hire it out.

You might find in your inspection it's all badly constructed/rehabbed and you might even have to cut back into the work done.Also, you could have a falling out between the partners, that happens a lot.You price it accordingly and make your offer and then roll your offer in every 14 days until the tell you to get lost...and then start again under a different brand :) You won't win any popularity contests, but you'll win a few deals.This of course is only if you really want it...be careful what you wish for.
