Some of our members will place them on the chain link fences that surround construction sites, which seem to remain for longer.We're covering WHOLESALING tomorrow evening www.MassRealEstate.net I'll pose this question if we have time and send you the results.Thanks, Mike

Also my skill set and contacts in the construction trades can really maximize the profit.

I am more involved in new construction, and don't invest in fourplexes, etc.

My main cash buyer is a construction worker and all I do is show her the property and she takes over from there.

I'm buying a foreclosure for $84K, ARV should be $125-$130K based on comps, maybe a little higher based on quality and condition. 3/2.5/2 1720 Sq Ft, 1988 construction.The loan package consists of a 6 month IO construction/rehab loan where they will loan me 75% of estimated ARV now, then refi into a 30 yr fixed when work is complete.The ARV is determined by the appraiser based on comps and based on a list of improvements that I intend to make.

I have good credit (but have a few loans) and I have the construction background to complete the majority of the fix up myself (the sweat equity).

At 5 years you subtract 250K from $19,500 (12K at 5 years ($2400 a year in our math above) and $7,500 NRF to offer a final adjusted selling price of $230,500.Hope this makes sense and helps.Regards,John

I always compare homes with similar above grade square footage and then make adjustments for basement after the above grade is figured out.

Why don't you try to be constructive instead of smearing companies and smearing fellow BP members who disagree with you.

Additionally the Army is cutting about $400 million in construction projects.http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/06/25/us-usa-army-idUSBRE95O1IR20130625 These cuts are spread out between 11 bases across the country; Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington, Fort Carson in Colorado, Fort Riley in Kansas, Fort Bliss and Fort Hood in Texas, Fort Polk in Louisiana, Fort Stewart in Georgia, Fort Campbell and Fort Knox in Kentucky, Fort Bragg in North Carolina and Fort Drum in New York.
