If you know a more experienced rehabber in your area, buy him/her lunch, walk them through your house and get their input to see if your budget and scope of work are accurate.

LOL, run that then it's maybe 162K, too tired to think now, been up since 4 am, or 17+ hours, that's a long time for an old man, LOL., I wondered about that, thinking Geeez, how can that guy ask so much for that place????

I read 70-90% of the listing price and it varies from region to region.. therefore a more accurate number will be very helpful..both of the properties have been on market for over a month and both have reduced price once 10%.Many thanks.

Resources of guarantors.In a more traditional mortgage loan underwriting, you're looking only at the person, not a business, and you're infinitely more concerned about that person's income.

As assets build (and you become a more attractive lawsuit candidate) additional steps should be taken to "isolate" potential problem assets.

I would also really appreciate just talking to a more experienced investor about the deal who might be able to offer some insight - I've noticed the DFW BP community is very good about taking time for newbies.Thanks,Ashton
