every project is different and will take different lengths of time. i will tell you that most rehabs with a kitchen and bath, full paint job and flooring will run past 2 months. its waiting for the contractors if they show, inspections, weather, material deliveries etc.

However, since a significant portion of the income went into improvements on the property (hardwood floor, paint, new decks, new kitchen, etc), my fear is that when I turn in my tax return, it will look like I make less money because of the improvements.  

The analysis is based on getting just under a 20% discount off list or $120K.The property currently only has 1 tentant and will need about $4000 per unit to paint, update the kitchen and re-tile the bathrooms.

Like ripping a band-aid off, it'll be painful but you're getting it over with and setting yourself up for the future. 

It drove me crazy to not have projects that would add equity (without ripping out something that was already perfectly good).

Besides this the home will need  a total of eight (8) new exterior windows, deep cleaning, paint, new overhead fans and light fixtures. 

I assigned my PSA to another wholesaler, can he speak with the seller directly, without ripping me off of my fee?

Now, no RE License so I need an Agent that works for or has worked with Real Estate Investors, and a Contractor with crew who specializes in almost everything, I am also going to do some of the work, I have some skills I can put on the table such as Gyping, Decking, Drywall and Painting (old school style, no paint gun lol).

Preferably one who won't try to rip you off.
