I prefer this for a few reasons: It allows me to reconfigure interior layout and install all new plumbing and electrical with out jack-hammering a slab.

Usually the SFR that get turned into duplexes are old, “chopped up” floors plans, and the cost to add a wall, kitchen, and second hvac system (or things like that) might be a hassle or require more cash than you’d like to lay out.

Sure you could convert a dining room to a living room, but do you need to frame in a new hallway since it's branching between the living room and kitchen, and now the room is only 7 ft wide and the layout is kinda off-putting?

With USPS you can now use a street address like UPS so it makes it easier plus it is way cheaper than a UPS and the address layout looks the same ( at least in my area)

Lay out your goals.  

Could I possibly have a similar lay out to the post card as the business card I included in the first letter?

I love the color choices and layout on the front.

All you need to do is to create an "education" system and lay out a "syllabus" and follow it.

Case in point heres a storyIt was $200,000 house but it was grandma's house they're in their 70s and it's free and clear and they really needed updating in their kitchen and a little bit of fixtures in the bathroom they kept it in meticulous shapeIt really had a nice layout but it was kind of small you know built in the 1950s so the closet space wasn't great but they had a nice big attic and a good size garageI always try to have a fiduciary duty to the seller and help that seller get a good solutionThe house was listed with an agent and because it was needing updating it didn't sellSo I came in and talked with the sellers and basically talked about all their options we could rent it outtry listing it again at a reduced price to maybe 180 or so but still a lot of buyers don't have vision to be able to say "oh if I spend 10,0000 that it will fix the problem" they just don't have the visionBut what I need to hit home with them is if they don't fix the problem so then they need to look at another possible solution which was selling it to an investor flipperThis is not a major rehab, this is a minor rehab where in 30 days you can tear out the kitchen, put a new one in and update some bathroom fixtures for 10,000 and now you can compete with all the other $200,000 houses for saleJust for giggles I have them call "we buy houses people" and they came in and did 65% ARV minus the 10,000 and offer them 120,000 for the houseAnd I explain to them that the investors have two sets of closing costs and they have to make a profit so that's why the number so lowAnd I asked the elderly couple what if we did a joint venture and I brought my money and fixed it and then resold the property and they would make a lot more for working with meGranted because it was free and clear I bought it on a private mortgage with a joint venture agreement which basically said that they would give me a private mortgage with no payments for six months I would do the work and then I would resell it with an agent list it at 98% of comps, advertising brand-new kitchen with full one-year warrantyBottom line here it cost about 10% to sell with a sales price of 200,000 and then I use private money for the 10,000 in kitchen and then I charge the $10,000 JV fee so they netted about 170,000 on the houseHow do you like to make 10 grand ethically and honestly and help people get a good result? 

It is also less than 10mins away from downtown East Point and College Park which are both developing its downtown's and building more condos to accompany those who do not choose to live directly in the city anymore/those who won't want to pay the uptick in rent that is likely to come soon.It's also a short bikeride from the Atlanta beltline and what will be the new East Point Path...as I said, not too familiar on the layout of this neighborhood logistically, but from where its located, it looks like it can become an area which can pride itself on literally being 10mins from 3 downtowns in and 5mins from the beltline...but as I said earlier, not sure if the area demands this kind of attraction, or if it is just because investors are starting to run out of space.However, in saying all of this, I think (what's left of) Sylvan Hills, Historic South Atlanta and Perkerson would be the best value investments outside of NW near Donald Lee Hollowell...I'd try to stay clear of East of I-75 (Atlanta portion) for now
