You're not going to be good on the phone at first, so you want to keep your lead cost down.Pretty simple stuff when they call.

You could make this simple.

I called my realtor and he still says no way 240K at best.Obviously good news either way but have some questions about bank appraisals.They have the basics of our rehab budget but it was as simple as 1000 dollars for bathroom 1, 2000 dollars for bathroom 2, etc.Does this just help us on the front end with the financing or are we under value on the house?

The foreclosure process in GA is very simple.

I won't take a property without at least 2% rent to mtg ratio within 75 miles and 2.5-3% in another state or further than 75 miles.If it was simple, everyone would be doing it.And never compromise on your margin or spread.

This wasn't a problem as that's our standard operating plan but something to keep in mind.As Bill said the business plan for a real estate investment is a simple document.

Final question, I have always done my own taxes because they were pretty simple using turbo tax, but I also never had an investment property.

It could be as simple as the ceiling is detaching from the ceiling studs...but why?

Sadly we live here and 2 of our 13 rentals are in this county and see it first hand.We got something that was simple like fixed by calling both of our county board members.

You just have to show them value in a very simple way.Word of advice, though.
