where in SoCal are they?

Where can I see some of these turn key properties?

Flying to Miami tonight, will be available to see some properties if anyone has

I have a new business in Miami, and I'm finding myself visiting Miami more frequently now. Instead of continually renting at Courtyard Downtown, I'd rather just buy something and use it for cashflow and possible appreciation.

However, if you want, you could have her do the inspection, keep the original, make a copy and have her bring it home with her to have her husband sign and return to you as soon as possible (either by fax or next time she/he/they see's you).

However, I see that being more of an opportunity for them to try and opt out if they change their minds with the mindset that "he wants us both to sign, so he probably doesnt consider it legit until we both have".

Either way, the one that DOES sign IS on the hook, so either way you can keep the deposit.

With any other business, you must spend money to earn customers.
A contractor can consider giving estimates as his investment in earning new customers.

You won't get any customers if you aren't out there beating the pavement making the sales...

Yeah, I think charging for an estimate is BS.
I am sure you can find free estimates though.

I am interested in this thread however as I am also semi-lost on how to estimate costs for repairs, upgrades, etc. I have yet to do a rehab so I dont know what all the labor and materials cost.

I have a bunch of cash and I'm looking for MFD/APT deals to hold.

Thanks guys. I live in Los Angeles and I don't really want to do anything here due to the high cost limiting the amount of deals I could do.
I guess its time to pick some other state&city and hope I picked a good location.
