You need to develop a Scope Of Work that is precise and then start getting prices for all the work.Once you have that magic number, then you will add that to the cost you pay for the house, along with any other fees or expenses...Then look at finished Comps (get a Realtor like @Chris Ayars said) and see if you will make any money......

Additionally, you may need to have discussions with your JV partner to come to a mutually agreeable solution for the long-term ownership of the property.

capital gains tax, seller commissions , other fees, etc?

Individuals are motivated by those who put in the effort and openly discuss their personal journeys.Now, here's another fact: real estate investment success is achievable for anyone.

However, it hurts thinking about giving up over 30% of my 401k to fees and taxes.

I am actively saving for the next place, and would like to avoid the traditional agents, bank fees, etc, and work directly with the seller off market on my next deal.
