As for the rentals, I am learning to look for:- are there similar properties available for rent- have any of their rent recently reduced- overall neighborhood classification- access to stores, major highways etc- schools already in session so may not be lucrative- cash flow and IRR ( I am still figuring out IRR)Kudos for trying to help out friends.

Im also a ware that im not getting out of it over nigh, but would like to know what some peoples stores are.

As you get more experience, start studying material costs at your local home improvement stores (whether mom-and pop or "big box"  stores),and work with more contractors, you can change out J's numbers with your own.

The people I have taken in who cannot buy or rent are not on drugs, they are handy tradesmen who go to work every day, one is  a store manager, one is a tile setter, one is an electrician, etc.

Check social media profiles (I've seen people post their new home address on their Facebook pages). 

I've recently started doing some social media consulting as well as online flipping while I'm in school to fund my first purchase.

Hello guys we are going to be doing a flip and I am trying to find a place with a good price on prefinished flooring does anyone know a good store?

Instead, take the old faucet off and take it to the store with you, or measure the drain pipes before you buy anything.  

Wanna start off by saying I don’t feed into the panic that the media sells.

That property 228 broadway Newburgh ny had a drug dealer,a non paying tenant and vacant store.
