I can see that most properties are 2-3 flats, all brick and rented for top price in the area.

Don't be shy about asking them flat out, "What will it take to get our loans through underwriting?"

I've turned around and put the same deals on the MLS using a flat fee listing.

We just purchased a three flat in chicago with tenants, after doing my detail inspections check list on each unit notice a few thing need to be repaired the biggest one is bat tub.

I have one guy that does most of the work and I had a specialist rewire my electrical panel.

I will come back here and periodically give you all an update on how I'm doing each week.Here is a brief summary of what I gathered from the walk-through (applies to both units unless specified):Get paint inspected for lead on the exterior, Repurpose hardwood floors, Replace all windows then board them up, Replace back door (unit 1), Full rehab in bathroom, Fix electrical panel in kitchen, Gut all walls and floor in kitchen down to the studs (unit 2), Repair hole in bedroom ceiling (unit 2), Add appliances and countertops, Replace hot water heaters, Rewire outlets, Add air conditioning unit, Fix plumbing in kitchen and bathroom, Paint entire house inside/out, Work on Landscape in the back, clean roof and gutters, add down spouts for gutters, add gas meters, and gut and redo the small balcony off the kitchen.I would appreciate it very much if you seasoned investors will give me your input, suggestions/advice, and comments.

The ROCKTITE is more liquid and fluid, great for pouring in cracks and holes on flat concrete.

So I go and open up the inside wall, via a closet (luckily, wood walls in that closet, not drywall, so I only had to pop off a panel) and inside I found TWO birds.

I charge an application for EACH ADULT INDIVIDUAL because they are screened independently.If you want to charge less for married couples, I supposed you can charge a flat fee PER APPLICATION FORM submitted.On the application form you can have an applicant and a spouse with their information.

Exterior paint sometimes changes color, so he may have to do the entire panel to the roofline.
