I know USAA and Navy Federal will definitely know what this means and ask about future employment.I could use vacation days to visit and view properties ahead of time if I needed to.

In today's world, any business would like to go ahead and reap success not only monetary wise but also brand wise.

We were just ahead of the market! 

If comparable houses sold for an avg of $85 per sq ft, you multiply that times the sq footage of your subject property to determine the ARV (After Repaired Value).The basic formula most investors use is:ARV x 70% - RepairsSo if your subject house is 2000 sq ft and the comps are at $85 per sq ft, your ARV is $170,000.  

Trying to think ahead.

Hello Fellow InvestorsI am fairly new to this game of real estate investing and am in an aggressive growth phase. It is about 2 years since I have been investing, and will be concluding 8 deals by the end of this year...

There is no certain formula, feel free to ask questions, many newbies go and do not network because they believe they have nothing to offer.

AND thanks Mehran for your kind welcome...Exciting times ahead... 

Since I was young I have wanted to renovate and re-sell homes (before it had a fun name like "flipping" and turned into the cool thing to do, thanks to HGTV), and at this point in my life/career I have decided to go ahead and make the jump into the investing world.

The issue with higher end properties is the traditional formulas are hard to use.
