When redoing some of the plumbing for the hall bath, we realized previously someone had cut almost completely through a floor joist to run plumbing.

It appears having the owner carry back a portion of the note is still considered debt (obviously), so this doesn't help out the debt/income issue we were running into.

I want to use the Rehab Estimator calculator to start running the numbers to find good deals but I'm stuck on how to estimate the cost of repairs without totally guessing...

So I have some free time and I’m willing to work along side someone whether running errands helping fix up a new property or whatever you may need.

I'd like to get set up on the MLS so I can start running numbers etc. 

It helps to run these ideas by other more experienced landlords. 

First download @Jon Crosby 's app called click to flip and run a few numbers just to get a broad idea of feasibility. 

I'm in California so can't run over and fix little things myself .

I think closing one at a time will save money in the long run as the rate would be 1-1.5 less.
