Like paint colors and other material type stuff. 

I only have one home, but definitely willing to share tips/tricks I have picked up over the years.

Nowadays I have a roster of probably 30 vendors that I can reach out to (and sometimes I blast through all my options for a particular problem).The biggest challenge is find good handymen for doing low hanging fruit (fix outlets, fix sink, change light fixture, spackle/paint).

You also will definitely have to factor in remod costs, almost every building up for sale is around 80-120 years old, lead paint, old furnaces, old doors etc etc. 

I'm looking for tips in three areas:1.

@DJ Tosh Here is a tip I aquired from a podcast about mobile home parks:Call the department at the local county (near the park) who handles records for mobile home parks.

I have a buy and hold strategy and have left over materials like paint and laminate flooring.

Sense I was 14 I’ve wanted to flip houses, I’ve worked in carpentry, painting, I can do minor electrical and plumbing, I’m currently working 2 jobs one in HVAC and one in chimney sweeping and chimney repair.

Karen, I won't be attending but I can recommend a tip that could save you thousands of dollars: Leave your credit cards at home.Most of the free / low cost seminars give you a few crumbs of information but are mainly sales presentations designed to "upsell" you on more expensive "boot camps" and/or "mentoring programs".They all follow the same classic sales formula, they'll tell you that it normally costs $X (you can even go on their website and see that price) but "today only" or "only for the first N people to sign up" they're putting on a special deal.They'll do the whole "this is how much it would cost individually but here's an incredible package deal" etc.

Looking for advice on quick ways to analyze a new area to figure out if it is a potentially profitable area to investage further...mostly for rental properties.We are currently looking at city data for average income, average home prices and then looking up rent average for the bedroom sizes.Anyone else have tips on quick data to review?
