Hi Dennis,

Great to hear about your real estate story.  Having a reliable team of tradespeople is a good first step - that is a critical component of a successful project.   Mind sharing how you built your team?

In terms of analyzing the rehab projects, I would consider how much profit can be made and then you can determine if it meets your investment criteria.  A deal that is good for Person A may not always be a good fit for Person B and vice versa.  

You also mentioned that property and taxes are expensive.  Assuming the worst possible case, will you still be able to afford holding on to the property while it is on the market?  

Best of luck.

Regards,

Adrian

Hi Richard, 

I am curious about your motivation to work without a real estate broker.

If you don't want to work with a real estate broker, have you thought about getting your own real estate license?  At the very least, that will give you an access to properties and knowledge that may not otherwise be available to the public.

However, keep in mind, it takes years of hands-on brokerage experience to learn how the real estate marketplace works.  But, it is never too late to start if you are interested in doing so.  For example, when purchasing bank-owned and short sale properties, there are certain tactics that can be played in order to win a deal, by knowing the servicer's process to selecting and/or approving a buyer's offer.  

I am a real estate investor and broker myself.  Over the years, I have enabled many partners to build wealth and become financially secure from real estate through opportunistic and value-added investment philosophies. 

Good luck.

Adrian

Great. Thanks for sharing!

Well-written.  Would be an inspiring lesson for my friends that chose to buy a luxury car before their first property.
