Both properties are priced at $80 per square foot, which I think is pretty good because they are both in great shape (I would be putting nothing into them in the way of improvements as they have both been remodeled recently).

I don't think so.It was easy to find on MLS because of the exact square footage and style.

It really is small @ about 300 sq. feet and I was getting $1,100/mo. before remodel but now I'm renting for $1,200 after the kitchen update.

If they can keep the files in house rather than selling off where things have to fit into a square you can get more leeway.Every bank has different levels of a mix when it comes to their loan portfolio.

We've all heard the stories – lender can’t/won’t perform at the last minute, mom & pop get cold feet, last minute change of rates, two week close on a two day deal, etc.

The SEC was to have the new rules out by now but I believe they have been dragging their feet while waiting for comment.Under the new rules the big thing to watch out for is that the SEC has proposed putting the burden of determining the "accredited investor" status on the entity.

However look at comps in the area for recently sold properties which you probably did, And you want to know your acquisition cost,hard and soft cost, etc.You want to know how much build able square feet you can build up and whats the zoning issues.

I rarely complete a basic cosmetic rehab on one of my typical houses for less than $15K (or about $10 per square foot).

At ground level where my access is on my two feet outside the building and killing plus removal just inside a wall, $250 would easily cover it, if not less.

I live in NRH near Southlake Texas, and am a frequenter of the Town Square Starbucks.
