I am a visual learner and need to see the whole picture.

Cost me $375/month (3 month minimum so I'll probably just move the same stuff and a few other pieces to my other vacant property that isn't selling either) and $200 for delivery/set up/pickup.I also took a bunch of artwork and random items from my own house and set it all up there, brought in some fresh flowers, and I set up the pub table with two glasses, napkins and a bottle of wine for a nice visual.

B) What additional information should I learn from seasoned investors before considering myself sufficiently prepared to begin building a team, rounding up quality contractors, and buying my first investment property?

Everything I've read about painting when it comes to rehabbing says use high quality paints.

Depends on the laws in the area too and the quality and size of the units.

I'm more of a visual learner.

I'm not overly concerned about the cost of either plan, just my quality of life really.

I have found that it is far easier to do anything visually oriented.

I think I've seen one or two people from your neck of the woods, but I'm not sure who they are.AS for starting out, you're right to put together a good quality team.

The trick is to find quality deals that rehabbers are gonnna want to buy from you.
