Fellow Central Texans,I am in the midst of forming an initial business plan/model for future REI.While I'm still about 4-6 mo. out from seriously considering a first initial purchase or transaction, I am smart enough to know I need a solid team in place before moving forward with any part of it.

I have had client submit offers for personal homes that were $50K over and still lost, but the areas are very hot (Central, etc).It also depends on WHAT you want to do with the properties.

I live and invest in North Central Florida, relatively rural area.

For example, we have reviewed restoration bids where they tried to charge more for usage of equipment such as air scrubbers or dehumidifiers than those units cost new. 

anyone have experience in the Putnam, central Village, and Killingly area?

Inspection reveals that Air/furnace/water heaters are mostly original and all around are well-well beyond their life expectancy and many are original making them over 33 years old.

Good morning AnnYes I am aware that I could not use buyer C’s funds to purchase a property,  I was taught that in one of my classes,  I liked how you were right to the point with your answer, my purpose for asking the question about double closings is I am searching for mentors in the real world of real estate, I guess I could have asked google the question but that wouldn’t have got me in touch with real people with real answers, this site is fantastic for beginners like myself, I’ve been installing flooring for 43 years working with realtors and new builds and investors, I decided to retire my back and knees from my trade so I can continue to work with clients on a different level,  I just completed and built my dream cabin in central Maine, I coordinated the entire project and hired all the contractors and paid them as well, I do have a passion for real estate, one of my goals is to gain relationships with realtors Thank you for your answers Mat

It's a pier and beam foundation, and they've left the vents covered around the base of the home, so I know I should air it out down there by removing those as well. 

Anyone have any brands or model numbers of forced air heaters, electric radiators tied to the wall, etc.?
