Honestly that's what gets a lot of people started on the right foot.

Possibly expand my real estate footprint on the side as well.

I want to learn, grow, and most importantly start off on the right foot.

@Derriel Cribbs Make sure you read the fine print and have the funds and letter from your lender.

Just remember inch by inch turns into foot by foot which turns into you finally looking back and you have came a heck of a long way from where you are. 

Send him pictures of the comps, get rough estimations on what he charges per square foot for paint, what he charges per square foot for different types of flooring, how much per box for cabinets, how much per square foot for countertops, etc.If a contractor can't give you a ballpark estimate over the phone for different line items, I wouldn't waste the time to get a bid from them.

When I am the listing agent, I meet the appraiser with a list of recent repairs and upgrades and their $$ value and a list of comps, usually properties that have sold for the same or more than I want or for the $$ per square foot I want.

Second question, is there a website that would tell me what the square foot cost is per zip codes or areas?

If they win, I presume there would also be a judgment that this limit does not apply to.This real estate attorney actually recommended this cap.Also, the lease contract that realtors use has a $1000 cap printed on the sheet.

I plan on getting my foot in the door by Wholesaling property.
