It was done in less than a week...once she was finally able to talk to the right person. 

Depending on the circumstances of the seller and your skills as a negotiator, the number you finally agree on with the seller can vary quite a bit. 

I’ve been plagued by Paralysis by Analysis and when I finally do pull the trigger on a rental property I strike out hard.

Yes, no showings for us and no final walk through s, Open Houses etc.

The final straw was when I first spoke to them the price per task was $30. 

I was so happy because I finally broke into the commercial real estate space!

Here is how I break my payment down:OVERSIGHT FEE: 1351 COLORADOPAYMENT #1: BUILDING PERMIT ISSUED $1000PAYMENT #2: ALL ROUGH IN INSPECTIONS PASSED $2000PAYMENT #3 FINAL C.O.

The one who are buying now are many “mom and pop investors” who are late to the this cycle, and the final retails user - homeowner occupied.

This generally includes opening up the location as much as possible, removing any loose debris, vacuuming out all dust, making sure no insulation is there (yea right, good luck in a ceiling), and finally wrapping everything with tape and inserting those plastic things up into the jacket where the wires come out to make safe the place where the wire is going to rub against the jacket/mount when someone works on the wiring.

I know I'm giving you way more detail than you asked for- so my final thought- if you buy in a good, appreciating market, nearly any investment can be made to cash flow over time, BUT in many high cash flow markets, you can't reasonably expect real appreciation over time.
