I recently did a house with it about 900 SF for $5/sf installed and that included quarter round and cutting in around kitchen cabinets, but the toilet & vanity were pulled. 

You can also go to a local REIA meeting and meet up a bunch there likely.

There is the offer, approval, inspection, inspection release, survey (this is a big part of what slows things down--NY does warranty deeds and banks require a recent survey, and there are only so many surveyors, so it can take awhile), title search, title defect curatives, clear to close approval from the bank (and this generally has to go through some committee that meets once a week or less), scheduling close. 

Looking forward to chatting with everyone here, and meeting some other fellow BP'ers from Buffalo! 

I just finished a kitchen rehab that involved removing a load baring wall, new cabinets at 10k, tile floor, reconfigured plumbing/electric and all new appliances for just under 30K.

If you could push rents $150/m, with a $175k rehab ($10,937/unit), a little over $1,500 more/unit for either new LVT floors/paint cabinets/new counter top/new appliance package, etc,  you would be able to push the ROI to 16.45%, an additional $28,800 in revenue/yr.

Looking for others in this area to meet and discuss real estate.

I'm looking to meet like-minded folks who can share experiences and advice.

With the above, finding the right opportunity and doing your numbers should go without saying, and finding the ROI that meets or exceeds your goals should be what you work toward. 

I’m pretty sure I can get them down on the price and will definitely meet the 1% rule.
