You can see if partners, like a contractor can carry off a job without going broke trying (no, you don't get their financials for a rehab, but through general conversation you'll find how strung out they may be, you'll get an idea of their overhead and you'll make a better informed decision).I taught the class many years ago, while much has changed, much remains the same.

I can tell you're new, you have an appointment before you're really ready as you can't learn in a few hours, so:Get an appraiser.Then get a couple of contractors/fix it guys and get bids for what must be done.

I am a licensed contractor with a specialties contractors license.

A realtor, contractor, manager, etc...

My wife's father is a contractor with a great local reputation, so with his help we have some equity built up.

I'm almost 21 and real estate investment has been on my mind for years, since someone explained to me the concept of OPM.On the forefront, I'm a broke college student who (thankfully) works for herself as an eBay contractor in the antiques and collectibles business.

I when notified I sent in the contract & 2500.00 in a certified check.

Those dates also coincide with my heating/cooling contractor coming out to inspect the furnace in the winter and ac in the summer.

At some time I will have a contractor give me an estimate of repairs.

A bad building can be fixed, bad tenants and bad management can be removed...but a bad location takes harder to turn around.2) hire a contractor and have him inspect the property.
