I have been researching different areas to get a better idea of what homes are worth, but they seem to range pretty widely from what I've found so far.

In terms of lease, you can use the NC Realtor lease, which is widely used in NC.

It's a numbers game to a large extent but you also need to learn to speak with sellers and you do that by speaking with sellers!

What was the extent of the work that was done?

The DC area though offers opportunities for flips at a wide range of prices.

Or does it vary widely based on location?

Not sure if it's system wide or just in FL

A colleague did a complete teardown rebuild 18 months ago, and had to redo the driveway because it was a few inches too wide, costing $10,000+ to redo.

@Ryan Plesz There is no doubt if any of the discussed mergers go through it will have ramifications, but to what extent will depend on many variables, including how many employees relocate, can the state attract new major employment, and also what asset class you are invested in.As an example, while GE is eventually moving to Boston from Fairfield, they are now transferring most of their employees to Norwalk for the next several years, so I don't think the impact will be immediate and if [big IF] CT can get other companies to fill some of their space it may not be a huge detrimental impact.

@Bryan Otteson at this point I agree with you to the fullest extent about finding a partner.
