I just graduated from college in June with a degree in mechanical engineering, but I've found that my true passion and interest is in real estate.

My question is, how do you guys typically evaluate real estate agent performance?

For a fix-and-flip scenario your max loan amount would be based off your experience and can go as high as a % or purchase although it is more common to get 90% as the loan size is typically restricted by the percentage of the ARV for that program.

I’ll see if he’s willing to change it and I’ll look around, but as of right now, it looks like I may be just going the RE lawyer route to purchase.

Especially not down a real amount.

Ex (random numbers pulled out of thin air)$100k purchase $160k ARV$30k reno but $20k at cost$15k holding costsTotal Cost:$145k cost or $135k with contractorWith the contractor at cost, I have an extra $10k of margin where I don't lose money, but obviously not ideal for the contractor since they would make less.I think a good way to price it would be the equity would equal your profit if you did a fee construction at slightly below the projected ARV, and slightly below the projected hold time.

So I've been looking to purchase a rental since the beginning of this year, but I've run into a couple obstacles.

As a father and a real estate investor, one of the most fulfilling experiences I've had is guiding my 16-year-old son into the world of real estate investing.

The appreciation will always increase, but I have noticed better long-term value in small multi-family vs. condos.Do you have a purchase price in mind?
