@Michael James Brooks I never use square foot, its 100-500/slab, that's 8'.

You can also estimate using something like this: cosmetic repairs = $15 per square foot.

I know for my family growing up in the DC area getting their foot in the door in a great school district with a house that has appreciate a huge amount.

Bingo and Bravo Dion, only thing I can think of is that the large brokerages bid on their positions to deal the cards, it's the government way you know.

Would like to get my foot in the door with my first deal within the next 6 months.

I know if I saw something posted by some people, I would believe 100% of what they posted because they have impeccable reputations both on here and in the real life market place...and there are others as soon as they post something I wouldnt touch it with a ten foot pole even if it looked like a legit deal.

I wouldn't touch 99% of properties out there with a 100 foot pole.

Following gurus will put you on the wrong path off on the wrong foot.

It's a good way to get your foot in the door.

The 9-1/2 foot ceilings give them a nice feel and the floor plans are open and spacious with island kitchens, walk-in closets, and huge bedrooms and bathrooms.
