Additionally, I used pastel envelope (now a standard) and kept my veribage short and sweet. 

I don't have a standard percent of ARV I am wiling to pay.

@Keyoka Smith , purchase a copy of this book. 

And its also very common for developers who build new condos to turn around and sell them within a couple years because they don't want to keep that kind of liability on their books.

I was wondering if you all could recommend books or online learning materials that have that same level of information, I'm really looking for detailed analysis on how to do things as an agent at a higher level of undertanding.    

Even the LADWP is a pain to deal with and anything electric can linger for months if not years in this cityFor that reason, i would recommend to absolutely avoid any interaction with the city unless you do really heavy work that would have significant impact on the appraisal like maybe adding bedrooms and bathrooms or adding lots of square feetThe current system doesn't reward doing the things by the book; you actually will be way ahead doing things on your own and just comply if you get an order to comply one day (very unlikely anyway).

I’ve seen some bigger pockets webinars and read some books.

@Carol Rivers , first i would suggest you get your self more education. podcasts and books. 

Hey Austin, To put some solid numbers together, I think you should have the places inspected, then appraised and inspect the books closely to determine past returns.

Moving on, these memories stuck with me and recently Jess and I were approached by a network marketing individual who gave us a book, “The Business of the 21st Century” by Robert Kiyosaki.
