For instance, a plumber, carpenter, etc.When you get higher up on the ladder of your business, you then start to do things like manage your subordinates.Above Managers, you must then give reports on the progress of your department, milestone achievements, projections of revenues and income, etc.Above Managers, the CEO level, your vision decides the overall direction of your business.I believe every Investor needs to think of their investments a business and you are the CEO driving that business forward with your vision of the future.You should NOT be a specialist, you should be a Generalist that can gather information such as what is the future migration of people in your area, what is the city planning doing in terms of re-zoning, are there any large scale developments that can affect your business (ie... if you are a mom and pop retail store, Walmart will put you out of business), is there a recession on the horizon?

As an agent (and investor/wholesaler), I think "investor friendly" agent means an agent that can walk through a house and put together a realistic rehab budget, determine ARV accurately and knows how to negotiate with bank AMs to successfully close transactions.Most investors seem to think that it means you'll do all of the above for less money than the bored housewife that just got her license and doesn't know anything.

So before making a final decision to hold or sell would it be wise to pay the 300 appraisal fee in order to make an accurate decision on whether or not to hold or sell the property.  

First, I gotta ask you, do you know how to accurately determine ARV and rehab cost?

Hello Everyone@Jeff Keller Thanks for the clarification of the MLS as the different websites can cause confusion as to which is accurate and most helpful.

Is my spreadsheet accurate?  

However, he did provide pictures to the PM, and if accurate, the work actually looks quite well done.  

Jonathan Safa , I'll review my old emails and gather up my numbers and make a post.

You definitely want to have the accurate and up-to-date information that the MLS has - don't rely on Zillow.  

So I have been getting things to gather and raising money for my second flip.
