@Naeem BarbourIt's a pretty loaded question, but a simple answer would be that a "good deal" is a property that meets your purchase criteria.So as the first step, I would focus on figuring out:What are your goals with real estate?

Window on either side of attic would have to become doorway... with flight of stairs down either side of house to meet fire code.I see myself occupying the first floor.The total breakdown by floor would be as follows:Floor #1 - 4 rooms, kitchen, full bath (Total = 6).Floor #2 - 3 rooms, kitchen, laundry, full bath (Total = 6).Floor #3 - 1 room, kitchen, full bath (Total = 3)So, My question: Do the projects justify the rental?

Hi everyone,I'm meeting a seller to sign all the paperwork to purchase her property tomorrow.

To help get the best appraisal and value, you'll want to meet the appraiser, help them with the data collection, and be sure to tell them all of the upgrades you have done to improve on its value.

I'm sure you'll meet a few key players and make referrals there.

Send a colleague request and we can meet to discuss.

You need someone to meet tenants face to face and to collect first months rent and security deposit. 

You are "fairly confident" that you can raise rent to $700, but don't sound too sure about $800, but the property only meets your criteria at $800 rent.

You will meet a ton of like minded folks.Third: start building a network ie lawyer, realtor, CPA, inspector, loan officer, or preferred bank and property managers if flip goes sideways.That is my 2 cents on your up coming adventure.

I am studying real estate during my free time but would love to get some hands on experience especially meeting people in the industry!
