Maybe asking a realtor friend of yours if they anyone helps.

thank you everyone for the information, i do have a contractor friend that i reached out to, just waiting back on some info from him also he lives about an hour away from me, so i expect him just to help with some info and pass me onto someone more local for the work.I was actually thinking in the in realm of 10-15k offer just going off cost to replace the main items and still manage to make a profit renting the property out.

Ton's of different things but we like to go into a market knowing this:market rateestablishing a team on the groundjob growth (what companies are coming in and out of the market)landlord friendly state lawscrimepopulationThere are a few more as well.

Any advice on selecting a Realtor when you have multiple friends that are Realtors?  

People have their different opinions and my realtors friends and the people I talk to all have different opinions.

My name is Scott, I'm a San Francisco Bay Area native (born in San Jose, and now live in San Francisco) who recently discovered BP podcasts through a friend and have been addicted ever since.  

I have a friend who buys in that section of Richmond, and her rehabs always appraise for about $30-$50K higher and make great rentals.     

Can someone recommend an investor friendly lawyer in Ulster county or near areas

I have been able to raise millions of dollars just by asking friends, family, attorneys, CPA's, real estate agents  etc..

Stay focus my friend.
