This would mean starting with Google maps for the 30,000 foot view, and then a drive by the property to see if it is occupied and its condition. 

In order to get the absolute most square feet they could possible afford, they took the cheapest options the builder offered for windows, HVAC, plumbing, an lighting  {The builders's higher end options were nothing to write home about, from an energy efficiency point of view, either}.    

You are then trying to put a square peg in a round hole.

We then cut a piece of flexible rubber 2 - 3" larger than the rigid foam squares - large enough that, when glued to the top of the stack of foam, it extends out past each side far enough to cover the top edge of the skirt around the attic access hatch.  

hello @Adam Lynch If I were you I would head on over to www.biggerpockets.com/UBG to get a 50,000 foot view of the real estate investing world.

I had a basement that would flood, so we dug down a foot around the house 10 ft out where most was coming from, installed some 6mm plastic and back-filled with a nice grade away from the house and haven't had a problem since.  2 guys digging for 6 hours.  

Houses will cost 85 to 100 a foot all in to build.My Wife is our Broker so we will keep that in house and try to sell as many as we can ourselves however it will be multiple listed with full BAC offered to procuring agents.

Then I calculate the price per square foot and gross rent multiplier for each property.

A realtor/wholesaler/investor had a single-family, 725 square foot, asbestos-siding, wood frame, house in a C/C- area four houses down from a major intersection that probably sees upwards of 60,000 cars a day.
