I am a licensed Cabinet Maker and I know my experience in construction will lead me towards a fix and flip business and a buy and hold strategy as well.

I am hoping to use my knowledge of construction and contacts to do some flips to raise capital but would like to work towards buy and holds.

My opinions of this place after I walked it this weekend is still its good for a tear down and new construction.

You can, however, determine a price at which to list your home for sale by comparing your home to those in the area that have sold and those currently listed for sale.An example of things to look for would be as following...MARKET SALES ANALYSIS (COMPARABLES) SUBJECT PROPERTY ADDRESS ROOMS BDRMS BATHS GAR AGE STYLE SQ FT CONSTRUCTION FLOORS REMARKS PROPERTIES ON MARKET ADDRESS ROOMS BDRMS BATHS GAR AGE STYLE SQ FT CONSTRUCTION FLOORS LIST PRICE DAYS ON MARKET REMARKS PROPERTIES SOLD ADDRESS ROOMS BDRMS BATHS GAR AGE STYLE SQ FT CONSTRUCTION FLOORS LIST PRICE DAYS ON MARKET SALE DATE SALE PRICE PROPERTIES EXPIRED/CANCELLED/RE-LISTED ADDRESS ROOMS BDRMS BATHS GAR AGE STYLE SQ FT CONSTRUCTION FLOORS LIST PRICE DAYS ON MARKET REMARKS Recommended Price Range $ COMMENTS: Avg. of Sold Properties $ Avg. of Properties on Mkt. $ Avg. of Properties Expired/Cancelled $

Most of my experience is in construction and I have some real estate experience in real estate.  

I would practice brokering new construction projects and rehabs/flips.

Lenders sometimes get in on this game too, alas (especially if it's new construction and you took the bribe to use the builder's "preferred lender" - that's the whole point of the bribe to use that lender!).

They will be energy star certified,HERS ratings, 2x6 construction.

Regardless of where you want to end up in your investing career, I have found it to be very valuable to have experience in property management, managing rehab and running a construction crew.   

Stupid, stupid, stupid.In 2009 I started my own commercial construction subcontracting firm.
