But everything is brand new, I am only going to use 2%.

Ultimately, this will be nearly a brand new home with new flooring, drywall, kitchen, bathrooms, fixtures, roof, and everything else you can imagine for a full gut rehab.

Hello all,I am brand new to the BP forums, but I have been listening to BP podcasts for about a year now.  

My marketing background also gives me a sense of wanting to build my own brand as an agent, while complimenting my brokerage. 

@Wayne Brooks This isn’t a brand new thread but it’s a continuing problem that can have devastating consequences I was so alarmed at how easy it can be for this to happen that I just posted an article on deed fraud & what you can do about itIt contains some links to check your property & register your property for fraud alerts with the clerk's office’s in various parts of the country https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/14776/98707-is-your-property-at-risk-for-title-fraud-how-to-protect-yourself@Peter WaltherSeminole County, FL now has title fraud alerts available as well: https://www.seminoleclerk.org/...I've encouraged friends & family to sign up for these as well

Ring doorbell, Nest Thermostat, (I forget the brand but) smart wall plugs/light switches got A LOT of attention in our latest rental and cost very little.

Rechargeable Laser Tape MeasureAny brand 12 volt drill / driver / whatever tools or if he already has a line from a particular brand add on to that.

Hey Guys so most likely going to be getting a brand new construction DUPLEX close to downtown Houston, TX with a view of city off back porch with 4 lots empty next to property which are planned to build new houses on my builders so potential for equity in property looks good, but it is close to a rougher area/ some houses around are old and bad I'm trying t9 decide if i should spend the money to decorate vacant side of duplex "hoping" to rent it out to make more income then a 1,300 dollar rent because if i rented it out for $60-$90 for 25 days a month im looking at $1,500-$2,250 if i can hit those numbers, but this will be my first time doing airbnb or renting as this is a house hack for me hoping to live as close to free as possible with expenses all in being around $2,150 so kind of scared of having high vacany with airbnb or if its hard to get people to stay with the virus?

You see people say everything is brand new and i am only going to use 2%.

The reno budget should be 75k but me and my dad (a licensed contractor) are doing a top to bottom renovation ourselves and looking at 30-35k reno cost (again lucky, my sister didn't like her kitchen on the brand new built in 2015 1.5 million dollar house so i salvaged and can use them in 2 units).
