If I'm trying to BRRRR one of these properties (instead of sell it), how would I go about getting a reliable read on what my ARV is in a situation like that? 

I am also looking to flip near downtown as well but am having trouble locating a fast and reliable contractor.

Now, I just bought my first duplex and am wanting to structure how I collect rents so that it’s tax efficient, reliable, and time sensitive.

Been 100% reliable and good on batteries2) Ring door bell (too intrusive?)

What I meant was that in the event of a breakdown, getting a ride to work or to any critical meeting or other engagement is reliable and straightforward.

Everything is negotiable at all times.If he needs references for reliable contractors to fix some stuff, let me know and I can point him in the right direction

My ultimate goal at this is to feel out the whole real estate investing, through a reliable family memeber so she can take care of the home and pay for it.All im doing is making the down pay so she does not have to pay more than whats she's paying as her rent which is about 1200 a month.Only thing which doing both is nyc homes are such dumps at 600 700kish. original condition 1910 to 1950 styles.so in 1 or 2 years, i wanted to save up atleast 300k down payment so i can stay within $3000 monthly figure.

That can also include "doing together" and sharing connections.I can tell a mentee what to look for in a good lender or I can introduce them to my lender of choice - assuming they have proven to be trustworthy, accountable, reliable, etc. so that my reputation and relationship with that lender is not jeopardized.

I began talking with my regular contractor in September and firming it up with him in mid-November for a house renovation I expect to be doing starting in January.Next, establish a relationship with a few reliable contractors and regularly feed them work. 

Looking for some guidance on negotiating, and some networking to pull reliable comps before I head to meet the seller.Thanks in advance!
