An excellent attorney is worth every single penny.We used to use an attorney - very nice guy - who charge us under market rate.

He did a great job for us!

Some good ones are:1. subject to my partners approval (your pet rat can be your partner)2. subject to 90 day inspection (HOPEFULLY you can broker it by then)3. subject to 40 year mortgage at -0-% interestOperating as an unlicensed broker isn't an easy job.

For my day job I do financial modeling and consulting for billion dollar companies which has turned me into an excel ninja.

I love my job and plan to stay in it (for now).  

I'm currently reading the book on flipping houses, but it would be nice to have a mentor so I can understand the true ups and downs of investing.

No pictures on the listing but it was right next to the local hospital and I could see prospective renters being young professionals/other good renters.Called the listing agent and set up a viewing for 4 PM and agent sounded very happy that someone was interested in the propertyWhen I went to go see the place it was a complete gut job. the roof was in good shape and the foundation look like brand new block foundation but the rest of the place was completely destroyed.

I'm a contractor,& have worked with Realtors extensively.have your Realtor ask around the office for someone that does repairs/inspection punch list items, they will be able to clean up that mess for you at a MUCH lower priceYou most likely won't have black mold, but Dawn dish washing soap will cleanse everything of mold"Home inspectors will verify"secondly, after all the moisture,& suspected mold has been cleaned/dried, you can simply use good sealer/primer on wood,& concreteI would guestimate around $3,000-$6000 for the entire job including hardwoodsMake sure you block any air intrusions in the crawlspace areas, Colorado can be hard on water lines :O}

I consider myself lucky as I have a very good job as a Superintendent for a high rise residential builder in the Vancouver area.

What a job!
