Name on the original contract is xxx inc and on addendum sellers lawyer is saying that it was a mistake and correct name is some persons name, not a business entity.

Estimating ARV:I get how you can estimate the increased value of the property by looking at comps. for example, I could check listings for 3/2's with x,xxx square feet in the area to estimate ARV, but I'm struggling how I would estimate the value of things like doing some landscaping, fixing up bathrooms, or putting in new counter tops to determine whether or not a deal is a good deal.Do my questions make sense? 

I personally would say I'm prepared to pay $XXX per unit for cleaning, flat rate.The property I managed had several people that did turn work, building cleaning halls, laundry rooms, they received a set flat rate per apartment to clean 1 br. was XXX. 2 br was XXX. and to care for a building it was XXX per building per month.And manger if they wanted could clean and do the work but had to be after hours of regular job.Its really up to you, but his cleaning work shouldn't interfere with managing duties.

Bad idea to pay agent a commission and then seperately advertise that you're willing to sell at your buying price--effectively capping the top end of what you might get in the sale, assuming that was in fact your buying price.Lastly, just FYI, I've had a number of FSBO owners try and tell me they bought their property at XXX dollars and now they're dumping it for little or no gain.

Let them know that you are an investor and give the general criteria of the types of properties you invest in and the general terms of your deals with Wholesalers, such as:I pay $5,000 upon closing for deals where I make a profit of at least $XX,000 or $10,000 if I make $XXX,000 or more.I'm looking for rehab deals where I can purchase the property at a 65% discount of After Repair Value.I'm looking for buy and hold deals for properties that at X beds/Y baths, Z,ZZZ square feet and monthly rental value of $A,AAA per month.The more you set your criteria upfront, the easier to weed out deals you aren't interested in.God Bless You!

Each letter is a bit different depending upon my intent, but here is the last one I used:Dear XXX:My name is XXX, myself and XXX are the new owners of the duplex located at XXX. 

On paint, I'm picky, if they choose the maintenance grade, i'll let them know i will only do two coats, anything more is $xxx.

Buy the wrong property and you lose your XXX Buy the wrong stock and you lose your XXXBut with property , you are in control of how its managed .

You should first contact an accountant prior to getting the cost segregation study.The accountant will tell you whether the added depreciation expense from the cost segregation study will likely be helpful to you in the current tax year or in the near future.The issue with talking directly with a cost segregation study is that they will mention if you get this study 'your tax benefit will be $XXX,XXX'.

The ones up here say something like "Real Estate Investor seeks apprentice, make up to $10,000/month, call or text xxx-xxx-xxxx."
