Best book I have read on productivityLifeonaire by Steve Cook and Shaun McCloskey - great book on balancing life and work.

Just food for thought, not intending to be rude.Now for your ideas about the work you need to do: Kitchen - I assume you mean cabinets, counter tops and flooring...maybe appliances as well?

same is true for any new Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, or if there's an area that has recently seen a number of new fast food chains enter the marketplace. 

Just some interesting food for thought.

Building wealth and large amounts of passive income monthly is more like crockpot cooking.

If the mess is not just untidy, but old food about and things that invite pests and even unsafe conditions, you should take pictures.

Lots of potential and food amenities in a 4star school district.We have a HML willing to work with us and are estimating about 60k in rehab.We are looking for potential partners for this deal in order to come in at a reasonable offer price on the contract.Seller is requiring proof of funds which we have obtained but based on the loan amount were coming up a little shy on the purchase price.Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated on where to go from here!

Be a Bird Dog for awhile until you figure it out, then climb the food chain to be a wholesaler, then Buy-FixUp-Rent/Sell.3.

I think they just aren't talked about quite as much because cash flow is what puts food on the table.Just running a quick example through my spreadsheet:$100k purchase, $1100/mo rent, $2400/taxes, $600/yr insurance, $1500/yr maintenance, paid in cash yields 7.64% return on your cash or $7,644/yr of cash flow.

This is important for the obvious reason that no one likes having their properties under rehab robbed.I'm guessing your numbers are based on figures that might have been cooked, partially cooked or at least defrosted by their accountant to stir interest.
