Regardless of your level of plain/simple vs rustic vs fancy, you can do it for much less by just going to used furnishing stores (primarily).I used both 1) high-end second hand stores (meaning not primarily Goodwill and Salvation Army), and 2) lower level antiques stores where they have decent pieces for say < $500.

I've done my due diligence (Estimated rehab budget, researched comps, reviewed the forums ;) and have a contractor lined up).I'm still super nervous and I'm sure that feeling does not leave but I'm just wondering if you experienced investors have and words of wisdom when the financial and anxiety levels are stretched!

Again, others might feel differently here.3) property level due diligence: (takes seconds to weeks per deal): here is where I drill in with the low-level details.a) pro forma popping: I examine all the assumptions, and see if they are overoptimistic or not.

@Jordan Esco - I would do your best to get 2-3 contractors there to walk the property with you and give you high-level estimates.

As a licensed agent you have the greatest access to network opportunities and resources, which again feeds back like credibility to lead production, conversion, monetization. 

The thing I find the most volatile and unpredictable is government actions (from either side) and their level of magnitude.

What most consumers don't realize is how large the difference in skill levels is between agents: most agents are part time and add little actual value.

I’d love to chat more about what you’re seeing.Prices will drop a lot more before they level out.

First, what is the experience level of the operator.

Seems like there's been a lot of new properties completed in the past couple years and more on the way, so I don't think at the market level it's going to bounce back too fast.But although I think most deals might not be great right now, if you're able to invest at a really compelling price point and you don't have any occupancy issues out the gate, I'm sure you'd be fine.
