Hey @Mike Dami,

Welcome to BP, it's good to hear from someone in Atlantic County. We have a great meetup in Atlantic City if you're interested in and there's definitely investment opportunities in south jersey. Is there a specific strategy on real estate investment that you're into?

 I'm finally going! I'll see you guys there! :))

Looking forward to tonight! See you guys then.

 I'm in vegas.........

June is on my calendar!

 Good catch on the Architect prints. You can have them perform a walkthrough, give them a copy of the prints and have them bid on it. Depending on the level of details from the prints and the scope of work, the contractor should figure out the costs in an accurate manner, even calling their vendors/suppliers to check price.

@Joshua Nash, I like this topic.

@Matt K. and @J Scott have great points. You want to have an educated guess on the project costs and also a strategy on finding the right bid from a contractor. J Scott's book is a great starting platform on figuring out the rehab costs. I also recommend the RSMean's 2018 Contractor pricing on Repair and Remodeling costs when you feel like you're getting the hang of it. You can figure prices even further and can also apply location factoring. 

Then getting contractors to see the property and placing bids is very important. You want to weed out the prices that don't make sense, such as if they're too low or too high. If a contractor provides a scope of work along with their price, that's great information to have. You'll be able to figure out even further if the costs make sense, or if there's something you didn't pick up on or priced. 

 Hey Orkeem, I can make it this Saturday. Looking forward to it.

There's some counties that you can download the tax info from their website. For example, atlantic county I can download an excel spreadsheet. @Antonio Pantano made a good point to start as well. I use that link also, as well as others i've spoken to on looking up taxes.

Awesome! I'm there!

Thanks @Kurt Kwart for setting this up. Had a great time and looking forward to the next one!
