Is it referring to rehabbers want a job done in 2 years (way to long)?

The solution I could think of is to obtain a HEL or HELOC for the house I am currently staying right now which we just paid off last month.

You are really performing a CMA (Comparative Market Analysis), which is an analysis done to determine the value of a property...that is what I would reference it as to the seller.

I would like to know how many total hours a good self manager is involved in coordinating handyman, placing ad/signs, handling emails/phone calls, verifying employement/references, showing properties, movin in walkthrrough, chasing checks and etc...

Yes, I would agree that - if you're referring to cost basis (such as is used in capital gains calculations) - that the amount would include the cost of the assignment fee (since I believe this falls under "purchase costs").

Robert Knobe - 312-590-2436He and his team are very sharp - tell him Jared Kott referred you.

I figured it is better to ask, even if not for a great reference, but a "Stay away from so and so" kind of deal :) I saw in one of your post that your parents live in the Phoenix area.

Found this couple who individually has low income but has a decent combined income, no recent issues , no evictions ever, not great credit but no past due bills or collections in last 2-3 yrs ( the wife had collection issue prior to 2-3 yrs while studying), very good rental reference, verified employment reference.

This way you can use this as a reference in your future deals as well. - Property manager - I would call property managers and see if they will manage the property your thinking of purchasing.

I can refer you to some very active buyers in my network.
