Random Q for you Cody.

A few random replies trying to lead us to their websites/virus. 

Also there an additional cost for stairs and other random issues that seem to come up.   

BUT the best resource I found BY FAR was http://www.drywallschool.com/protips.htmIt's all free with step-by-step articles with great images and videos.

I am tweaking on a spreadsheet (http://cl.ly/image/1b0r2q3j2a41) for each property and was wondering if anyone has thoughts or resources on the following:1) I understand that in theory, you take a 30yr roof and divide by 30, But in practice, I only plan to hold a particular building 7-10 years.

I'm essentially interested in how to get the numbers, and how to crunch & analyze them. for example (this is a random question, and shouldn't be taken to be indicitive of ALL of the sorts of questions I have): how to you figure out what a property would rent for, generally?

On this property (one of 55 selected at random) in my home county that goes up for auction next week the lender must bid 185,727.89 because that is what they asked for in court.

My husband is saying that he probably wouldn't want to offer him more than $35k as is for the home but I can't image this guy taking it because in our first conversation he was adament about "Oh no, we couldn't take that low for it, it's worth $75 according to the taxes".

I have trouble imaging the advantages outweigh the costs.

I accidentally found biggerpockets doing random real estate research.So my name is Chris Cafferty.
