My wife and I own a decent size childcare business that provides a good income but not consistent. 

I know a house thats on the market for $350,000 and the comps of the neighborhood/area is $325,000-400,000 depending on size, sq ft., etc. 

We use zipcars for 1-3 hours during the weekdays and they cost about $8-$10 per hour depending on size of car.

I am PUMPED about doing a major rehab on a really nice 60 year old home situated on one of the most scenic lots in Inner City... it has 4 of the largest oak trees around on a lot over 8,000 sq. ft. in size!

Thank you for the advice - you're right, if we chug along we will have a decent sized collection soon.

An exception to that is when a sellers say owns 10 buildings and they are selling them all and they vary in size from 10 to 120 units.

I had a few roofers come in and take a look.The problem with the PVC is that all the joints are somewhat leaking, and gets blocked due to the size (2-3inch).

On top of that, costs in DFW are different than costs in CA or FL or GA, or (you get the idea).Secondly, you can have two properties of equal size and location, one home with a completed kitchen and no need for anything there, then another with a full kitchen replacement needed.

Last month, I sold a contract and I got 5k cash plus the buyer owns a large asphalt company, so as part of the deal, he is installing a regulation size tennis court at my home.

Though occasionally that can involve a $5 million to $10 million deal size, most of what I do is $25 million and up.
