If I overextend a roof, I risk doing some extensive damage to the dwelling and I may not know it's happening until after it's been happening for some time and a lot of damage has occurred.  

We already have some targets in the cross hairs and are seeing if we can put a deal together.

Fred Joaquin Maybe after the 4th Fred, my number is on the profile, just give me a ring, extension 1.

But in commercial real estate your risk is lowered extensively by doing proper analysis of properties and only moving forward with the ones that are numerically "Good Deals."

Many of the homes are old and require TLC and some require extensive rehabbing.  

If I am doing a lot of the work myself (with my own cash), then does that work factor into the SOW, and by extension factor into the "as completed" value?

It’s really an extension of credit granted by the seller to facilitate his sale!

What @Brandon Turner has done purchasing undervalued properties and forcing appreciation is incredible, however, this strategy requires you to be extensively involved in the business and it's not for everyone.  

To be short and direct, I need an Real Estate Agent/ Investor who can pull comps on an extensive list of properties today.
