The property will no doubt cash flow but with my current SFM becoming my first rental, I was wondering if there is anybody out there that knows of a good RE accountant locally.

Seth Nadreau I understand that interior finishes and the breakdown of the space used can be a big differentiator (a large living room is worth less than a living room + additional bedroom or bathroom) — but are there other reasons someone shouldn’t considered price per square foot?

I'm finishing up a rehab right now and my contractor has really dropped the ball from a timing perspective (lots of false promises and missed deadlines). 

I was wondering if I might be able to talk to you offline or on this forum about the whole process?

I am wondering how to go about the period of time from the renovation period to having the units rented from a financial standpoint.Thanks!

I also understand that banks might be more willing to deal at the end of the quarter or year - the fewer properties on their books, the better for their balance sheet. end of quarter is a real thing I bought a big mansion that a NBA player had gotten 3.4 done  on a disposition from wells fargo .but it had to be off the books by a date certain so we had about 6 business days to close it.. we paid 1.7 million in cash for it. then refinanced it after we owned it and pulled out another million to finish it.. turned out to be my best rehab ever sold it first day on the market for 5 million :)  I had 2 other partners.. so its was a nice pay day.. but that all happened because wells wanted it off their balance sheet or default list by end of a certain quarter..

We are hiring right now and don't have enough help to finish our rehabs fast enough and are cycling through new leads every day.

I was wondering if that would be smart as a first time investor and wanted to see if anyone had taken this on or if there was any advice anyone has as far as making this happen? 

I currently work In the RAN (Royal Australian Nay) but within the next 2 months i'm going back to my prior AMAZING job (which sadly pays a little less as an outdoor educational instructor) Eventually i'd like to get to a stage where i'm pocketing enough through investment properties that my day job's income doesn't really matter and i can continue working where i love.I have just finished reading the Ultimate Beginner's Guide To Real Estate Investing which has given me plenty of ideas and as you can imagine even more questions.

I am wondering what the laws are on tenants changing locks in Houston, TX.
