That's a good idea to add; bigger effort than my original rehab vs. your adding something brand new to it! 

HR will be checking Linkedin and Facebook these days so just as valid (surprising but...trust me on that, married to a ex-HR Director of a major Hotel brand) . 

Hey yall,As a brand new real estate investor, I'm in the process of assessing my options when it comes to financing, contractors, insurance agents, etc. in the DFW (Dallas Fort Worth) area in Texas.

Build Brand & Credibility 3.

My capex budget includes but not limited to: roof 25 year life span, floors 10 year life span(except carpet only 5 years), appliances and hot water heater 12 year life span, hvac 20 year life span, bath and kitchen remodel 20 year life span, etc. let's assume you have 1000 sf of flooring and it is brand new the day you purchase it.

The ABC’s of Real Estate Investing put out by Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad Poor Dad brand is another good one.

I'm sure you've been pitched or marketed to by brands, sales people, marketers etc.

Brand new construction or down to the studs rehab is very different from a 1940s original plumbing.

I knew the roof was not brand new but I also knew that the inside of house was dry and the roof still had several years of useful life left.

If you're brand new I highly suggest checking out multi unit and investor meetups in Chicago.
