I saw a video on here where the dad was reading a book about his rehab to his children.I think it would be fun to have some books that talk about rehab and other real estate concepts,  with more advice and instruction to young adults.My granddaughter loves Bob the Builder and has "helped" me on a few house projects. mostly spackling and painting, (she is 4 lol)I think a pop up book with before and after pics of houses, a tape measure that can be pulled out to measure stuff, a piece of pretend sand paper to "sand" a rough spackling job ect. 

All to be verified by your tax person as I am not able to advise you specifically.If you are a super slow flipper and take 2 years to flip it, unless you can show that you at least attempted for a reasonable amount of time to rent it out or otherwise get it qualified as an asset and not just a piece of inventory, then it is still marginal tax rate.  

I have managed to negotiate an great price on a piece of property that has excellent Development Opportunities. 

As far as estimate goes, for smaller job, I know small (most likely single operator) specialized contractors usually just do it either on a piece of paper, or carbon-copy setup - all hand written. 

But I can definitely appreciate that the variability is in the approximation of rehab costs as each investor would put their own unique perspective in on that piece of the deal. 

It will mean you have a well trained animal, happy tenants and a little piece of mind (no one robs houses with dogs).  

I don't ask for these things unless I am confident at that point that they are a good *potential* tenant.I have no intention of turning over a piece of real estate that my husband and I have made a significant investment in to someone that would not provide this information.

You don't know how many pieces of the puzzle now fit from You're responses.My agent just sent over a draft of the offer, She has "John Adamkewitz and or assigns"Under Additional provisions She has: "and or assigns: Buyers attorney to provide seller with full information of investment group within 5 working days of accepted offer to purchase"Any problem would just come back on counter?

I bought a piece of property.

mike S is correct ...motivation is the biggest piece of the marketing strategy
