My bad for not knowing the value or finding a broader range of buyers.Bought a non performing note for $5K, property had been abandoned by the borrowers and had squatters living in it.

The renovations I'm interested in are more than "paint & carpets" but will not include additions, foundation work, or other major work (hopefully).Essentially, my strategy is to perform medium-level difficulty work on a 2-4plex with the intention of staying in one unit and renting the others out.

Get a couple more estimates..I insulated a couple properties in the fall and it was far more reasonable...I bought material from HD and got machine to blow free...Handyman/1 helper completed task(of course get someone who knows what they're doing...took about 2.5 hours on each property....

The worst performing one is just under 2% now I believe.

Invest in Performing notes not sure if we have any other options like PPR with the same transparency and easiness to start (?)

The gurus make it out to be easy, but you will find it to be quite the task to find sellers that are willing to sell their house for a 50-90% pay cut on their house.

They consistently amaze me with how poorly they perform.

The real performers, the people who actually will buy your property, were already identified when you did your research and determined what reasonable price that property will sell for ARV.

I will be calling DBPR monday to verify that my BS Mech Eng will allow me to sit for the exam.My next task is to find all the study materials that I can.

After all it is your house, and if your agent is under performing, you deserve to know all your options!
