Remember you don't have to own a property to control it.Good LuckPaul

Ideally you would get all the recent sales and current listings in the area when trying to determine the value.If you can't estimate the rehab costs yourself then getting a contractor is about your only option.

I had to later evict the people.Currently my only income come from a room mate.But here I am, i want to get involved. i want to really get involved and make income in real estate now.Right now my ideals areDuplexes, fourplexes, simple homes that are nice. things like that. that is my ideal. and of course whole selling.

If not, you will probably will have to move on to another deal.Just remember what you said, "We'd like to be in it for no more than $75k when all is done."

this sounds ideal for small patches and quick fixes but not ideal for larger projects.

Oh yeah, I do remember you.

Remember Your dealing with bureaucracy.

If you educate yourself, work hard, treat those you encounter along the way with respect and dignity good things will eventually happen.Good luck, and remember...... network!

I can't remember it being open.

I think my return is 8% if I remember correctly the last time I rant the numbers.
