WE all put our pants on one leg at a time.. and I was not born a successful real estate investor broker.. and I have made millions and got hammered in the down turn like many and lost millions.. we are just all people. so I don't want to get lumped into the High class real estate society.  

Meaning, did you know that the remodel from head to toe didn’t include 2 AC units on their last legs or an older HWT?

Im gpnna stop being nice, and charge everybody an arm and leg to mpve in so i get higher quality tenants.

Orange County that is depreciated out and hasn't appreciated in years.

Residential and commercial are apples and oranges and I like to compare them to being a pilot vs a commercial pilot.

I have been doing some leg work to find some information on them but am looking for a mentor/partner or even just someone familiar with the area as a second set of eyes on the deal and my numbers.

It's value add if you're aiming to create a 3-unit but it also can't cost an arm and leg.

Knowing how design, architecture and entitlements work represents formidable pieces of the development process and gives you an enormous leg up in entering the development industry.The "$$ side" of commercial development is nowhere near as complex as what you already know.

these all might have different approaches, for example I'm a fan of pre listing inspections to get a leg up on repairs, but keep in mind the things the inspector find are different from what an appraiser will look for (and the appraiser is the one who ultimately determines the value), and nobody will should expect a home to be free from the defects an inspector will find.

It is super simple and I get almost zero rejections or anger from the people I call.
