I'm excited and have always been into real estate and evaluating properties for years now.  

My agent told me that if an investor were to just buy a standard policy and a claim is made on vacant property with work in progress the insurer won't pay a cent.     

Valuing a 3-suite office with a vacancy as though it's a 2 suite investment seems likely to offend.You evaluate them by making assumptions about how long it will take to lease up the property and at an expected rental rate.

Good luck, let's stay connected I'd like to hear about your progress and your first deal!

In my case, I am a buy and hold investor buying from a distance, looking to form a working partnership with and train a local house-hacker or BRRR partner, who I can train to be my local boots on the ground.In this, I am looking for more of a top level "master list" of the key areas of responsibility and knowledge/expertise that are needed for a full service enterprise, to evaluate my own areas of weakness, and also evaluate potential partners for what they will need to know and learn.Thanks in Advance,Aaron

Provide them tasks that are important to your scope to show progress to your investors and lenders to get funded.

Bremner thank you for sharing how you evaluate comps, but I have a question doesn't Age of home play a factor?

You'll figure out things/people/documents/what you need as you progress forward, BP helps you to start at level 25 vice level zero.I will admit that not knowing anyone in town is tough, but 4/5 months will go by quick.

Whether you imbibe or not, it's pretty cool to walk into a shop and see for legal sale a product that will get you arrested in a less progressive state. 

I'm greatly looking forward to speaking more with you about progress and where to start.
