15k, and that's a lot compared to how much they would typically pay (i.e. 0).Create a detailed scope of work, if you're going to run a rehab you need to understand the process of the construction occurring.

I know you will give up some of the deal, but you will be rewarded with potential money partners when you make the transition.7.

@Daniel B.Are there any recently sold comparables in the area? 

My question for BP is, at what point do you reward yourself and put RE aspirations aside?

I just bought 2 years ago in Summerlin.. and we do half a dozen flips in Vegas a year.. been very good to us.. we do the 6 to 6.5 months a year .. other than weather your tax situation wont change. but boy compared to being a Oregon resident.. what I save in tax being a NV resident paid for the house I bought LOL  within 3 years.

Old landlord only had a $500 deposit which is nothing compared to how much a uncontrolled dog can damage the property.  

@Andrew Michaud what properties are you looking at to get a comparable retail price per door?

The appraisal came out to be less than I wanted ($110,000 compared to $130,000 I was expecting).

Why not both take their referral and find your own and compare them and pick whichever is better, some agents have hidden gems others well.... don't3.
