I have hopes to grow in the property investment industry and use my love for interior design (and attempts at being handy) to help me invest in (as well as quickly flip) additional homes in the future.

An interior appraisal inspection is needed on most loans.

The main difference is that I was bringing the money and the deal, and gave sweat equity to my friend who did all the project management and architectural and interior design.

Had to get custom locks and learn how to do that since the locksmith wanted $1500 alone because of the odd dimensions and backsetDemoed the interior and single handedly filled two flat bed dumpsters, need atleast 1 more for the trash still present replaced the wood siding and framing for one of the balconies, will be laying down the epdm waterproofing this weekBought a few french doors from craigslist, which happened to be the exact size I neededinstalled a new cross beam section (old one was rotted and sagging) above the old 4 panel french doorsI also removed the stucco from most of the house and am putting up new plywood and homewrap on as much as I can, keeping in mind the bottom portions will need to be replaced due to the sill plate/foundation issuesReplacing the fascia as I come to it with PVC AzekI also have some tile, toilets, chandelier/lighting, and various other components I need but have not started to use yet.

When you purchase a condominium, you are purchasing the interior airspace of the unit within the structure and typically a percentage interest in all of the common areas shared with the condo owners.

Purchase price: $400,000Cash invested: $71k to close, $72k proforma renovations (interior & exterior). 

Factoring 20k rehab for interior, 10-15k for new roof if needed, and 10k for AC both sides; the repair cost should be no more than about 50k  48k purchase, and 50k MAX rehab gives you a totally new property but the problem remains if it is in a bad neighborhood.  

I'm an interior designer so all I do is remodel homes.  

We’ve run the numbers and even talk to zoning and it all is falling into place and makes sense.My sister is a interior designer and she is laying it out for us.

I replaced the roof, siding, plumbing, heating, electric and updated all interiors including kitchens and bathrooms.
