So, I thought about doing brackets for certain investment levels ($50k,100k,200k) and then adding a load factor for their % of the total fund but these are all just guesses and arbitrary.

A deal like that I might have 150 hours labor into it since I might have been doing some of the skilled labor myself to save a few bucks.

It requires a solid foundation of real estate knowledge and you deal analysis skills.

Hello Page,Of course, everything I write there is just my opinion and works best for my particular situation and comfort level.

Also, it is nice to have other skills and be marketable in another field in case you decide real estate is not what you want to do with your life.

This may be an unpopular opinion here on BP, but I firmly believe that most people who attempt to get into flipping won't succeed, regardless of whether they have a mentor/coach/teacher/guru or not.Of the people who try rehabbing, my guess is that 70% won't be successful long time, either because they don't have the skills, the personality, the intelligence, the motivation, the money, or some combination thereof.

I'm looking forward to increasing my knowledge level beyond what I've read and from a little experience with cash flow properties.

I can't find any answers with my Googling skills (or lack thereof :)...Thanks,Angie

Gulley, I do not drink however I DO believe my 1,800 + probate deals over twenty five years as a probate specialist gives me some level of expertise to base my experience on.

In this case level of self tolerance to lies is just unbelievable.
