Some factors to consider.... two handle vs. single handle, with sprayer vs. without, top brands vs. off brands, and style.

Hi @Scott Costello It's the all around customization of the site that is suitable for the search engines.

I have never personally heard of the big banks BOA Wells Chase pay an assignment fees I think a double close is more suitable...

. * Turn garages into a 1BR loft-style apartment.

If the roof was 10 years old, they wanted a new roof; if the electric service was 150 amp and perfectly suitable for their needs, they still wanted an upgrade to 200 amp; windows needed to be replaced if they didn't all match; etc.  

Additionally, being able to preview property as a licensed real estate professional can mean that you acquire a good understanding of valuation of properties through finding suitable comps.Much success in real estate investing!!

Often people think this will mean you're living in a 2/1 apartment, but I would look for attached townhome style quads (seen some under 125000 in my area that rent out each unit for 850-900 a month...do that cap rate!)

We'll have to add that, the style of teaching I guess you would call it, into the criteria as we're figuring this out.

Figure out the pros and cons of different styles of investing and start planning.

What I would pay...give or take:Gut rehab - $40/sfNew construction - $65/sfNot saying you'll get those prices (could be higher or lower given you probably have different contractors, different design style, different definition of mid- to high-end finishes, different material suppliers, different negotiating skills, different level of experience, etc), but that's about what I expect...
