You can also look for networking groups on sites like Meetup.com.The tough part, in my estimation, is going to be differentiating yourself from the people who say they have deals but are really just faking it.

@Nicholas DelgadoI’d recommend turning this into a Gantt chart which will better show the prerequisites and estimated duration of each task.

So rather than "guess" at the price, get an estimate or two.When you are paving asphalt over a gravel road, you are talking about a "from scratch" job, as opposed to adding an asphalt overlay on top of an existing asphalt surface.

Rehab estimates I'd get from a GC. 

I'd be happy to talk with you about some options and provide an estimate if you're interested!

If I did some minor repairs on the house and sold it for let’s say $120,000 (that’s just an estimate) what would my taxes look like for next year?

I'm in the Austin/San Antonio area and would be happy to provide a free estimate for you on your cash out refinance!

If someone is okay getting creative, knowing they are inheriting a mess and factors in a conservative estimate for attorney fees into analysis/rehab costs, etc, it could still be a good opporturnity in an otherwise very competitive market where the eviction process would scare away most buyers.

Even with a conservatively estimated $70k renno we expect a 10% cap rate and 22% BTCF.The unit is fully gutted now.

DON'T TAKE RENT ESTIMATES AT FACE VALUE!!
