I'd also add that if you're not experienced in doing rehab projects then you might want to have a couple of contractors come with you (bring your personal network if you have one) and do estimates on each piece: plumbing, electrical, HVAC, kitchen/bath, floors, roof, etc.

I currently work as an IT Project Manager full time and Real Estate in my spare time, but anyway, never ever reply to any unsolicited messages from banks or what may be pretending to be your bank or PayPal.

At the time I had all of my resources tied up with my first project and didn't really want to take on another but the deal was too good to pass on altogether.When I work on a rehab my subs come in and do work in various stages.

Has anybody ever had any luck getting government grants to fund real estate projects?

I bought a house in a rundown urban area about 2 years ago as a remodel, investment project.

Do you know of any investors that want to Joint Venture on an 100 unit rehab project w/ my investor in Birmingham, Alabama.

Buy an automatic paint sprayer for next project!!

I have contacts that lend get involved in these types of projects if the numbers work.

I think the best way to figure out prices is just to contact contractors in the area for quotes on different projects - like getting the roof redone or the driveway done.

I am working with a company called Project Initiative.They find a property in good shape @well below market value.
