I'm sure the experts have gained experience from on the job, but how are beginner investors supposed to determine on a whim what will need fixing and how much it'll approximately cost? 

Considering you're a Pro, I was hoping to gain some info as to whether or not a property that I am about to get under contract is a concrete deal.

The business will first focus on building up its property management division of the business to gain immediate access to cash flow and profitability.

May be able to avoid capital gains taxes all together if you have the right timeline...

Any feedback with respect to rental market, desirability of neighborhood, crime or anthing else I should be paying attention for this area, would be helpful.Thanks

Do you simply ask, create a presentation and offer them insight to what they would gain.

I gained a lot of experience with the A/R system and with eSign for leases.

more points to add... once you get in the middle of a claim for yourself you will gain experience that IS very valuable for anyone with property (experience probably worth more than the10-20% your PA will take along with your chance to learn) .  

Attention getter.
