I’m having an internal debate between continuing to try to do things myself versus hiring a contractor.

My first thoughts are:-No exposed wood or painted surfaces on the exterior-Coax cable outlets in every bedroom and living area-LVT in the common areas and wet areas-Concrete porch and patio instead of using a wood deck-Upgraded toilets with large flush valves and high quality internals-No bifold closet doors-Basic cabinets and countertops-A step up from Contractor grade for faucets -Solid wood interior steps instead of carpetedWhat am I forgetting?

I work for Colliers International.

Hello,I am wondering if anyone has experience putting together a deal involving multiple domestic and international investors using a LLC.

@Michael Karl  @Hank Silva   @Brandon V.Here is the complete code section on egress window. 2012 International Residential CodeSECTION R310 EMERGENCY ESCAPE AND RESCUE OPENINGSR310.1 Emergency escape and rescue required.

This has a good overview of dryer exhaust requirements per the IRC (International Residential Code). https://www.nachi.org/dryer-vent-safety.htmWhether the seller pays for it or you do, you definitely want all that moisture being vented to the outside.

Hi Tzook,Just looking on Craig's list or anyother site which lists properties for sale is not enough - you must be very much familiar with the area you want to invest in, and have a local partner there that you can count on that will assist you with checking out a property you are interested in, from the outside and inside, to know its internal status and the amount of rehab needed.

Im a full time local investor (who has currently been traveling internationally for the last 1.5 years) not a realtor, but Im more than happy to share anything I know about the real estate game. 

Hello everyone - My name is Rob Greer and I am a Senior at Penn State University majoring in Finance and minoring in International Business.

Actually, the changes to options come from international accounting treaties so our books align in financial markets, little to do with Dodd-Frank, the IRS adopted the requirements under GAAP, so that's where the rub is and that won't be changed by any President, so as to lease-options, folks need to learn :)
