Are you emotionally driven and feel that you can actually do what you thing? 

So stay on top of material and labor costs, even if you have to micromanage a bit more than you'd like.If you put it on the market with a roof that didn't need replacing immediately, but was old, you may not have received the purchase price you will receive with a new roof.

A book could be written as to the structures as you have many options, they can buy and finance and you contract, you buy and sell turn key, you can get the seller involved, do the work for them and flip the contract to an end buyer, partner with the owner and sell turn key, arrangements are endless.To structure it, you'll need to consider the buyer's position and ability to buy, they will be getting the end loan.Really boils down to financing, who gets the construction financing, does title need to pass  to do the work, where do you put your profit, again, the end buyer's ability to finance.You'd be selling from plans and specs, yes, you need a good down payment if the buyer is picking appliance, colors, materials as what they may select may not be as marketable if the fall out of the deal, you're stuck with pink bedrooms, green carpet, crappy ceiling fans and hickory cabinets.

I envision this website inviting every investor to send their best proven marketing materials & scripts & posting them all in one place so all the newbies could go there and just download them all at once.

For example: -evidence of increased inventory -foreclosures close to the subject property -third party material referencing a suffering local economy -information regarding increased crime/homelessness in the area.

They are plentiful in areas affected by both oversupply, huge price overruns and geo-economic contractions driven by the recession like Detroit, Michigan, parts of OH, and California to name a few.

Prices were driven up a pace never before seen.

I have invested much time and money in blogs and books, but there is still one question the I cannot seem to find the answer in any material.

Besides, it looks good on a business card or your marketing material.
