From what I keep reading they state that agents, brokers, property managers, etc are major resources for finding data that I could use/crunch to determine property value more accurately.  

This can begin with an informal process where they will actually visit the property so they can complete a more accurate appraisal and often results in a reduction if there were issues with condition, functionality, or external factors they had not considered originally.

If I choose some one with little experience I am doing that to groom them to become a top performer.. other wise need lots of expeierence I think the biggest thing I see from those that are not use to HML or trying to get into flipping is1. thinking that HML are only asset based..

You are allowed to act as an agent of your Ira (eg arranging for a contractor to perform work), but doing the work yourself will jeopardize the tax benefits of your ira's portion of the asset.

Hi BP community,I am doing wholesales in New Jersey, and I came across this possible deal in Sparta.The problem is that I need a contractor that can give me an accurate estimate of repair costs, so I can offer a good deal to my cash buyer.If there is no  contractors in Sparta, it is fine.

would consider a performing asset:)...What I guess I am saying is that per next Tuesday I'll be up to 18 units, and I would never have been able to do that if I was not seriously cash flowing.

6) in theory how would you go about building wealth with performing notes?

There was not poorer performance simply because a property was structured as a TIC or wholly owned by one individual.  

@Christopher Choe   really depends on your cost of capital.. if your paying cash and have no cost of capitaland its hot CA.and your numbers are accurate.. then its pretty easy. as we know CA will sell for 99% or better of list.if you can get your RE agent to list for 5% which is common.. 500k - 5% = 475k390k + 40k = 430k... 

He has a great program that deals with performing notes.
