Look for stable assets; basic housing will always be desired, high end luxury not always. 

I am new to the wholesaling side of the real estate industry but have some basic knowledge of commercial real estate as my family owns several commercial properties in the San Diego area and does pretty well.

Sometimes, you find useful things, though, or rather useful hints to the house's history.The most useful thing I've found in my current reno project is scraps of newspaper in a ceiling that pinpointed when the thickbed tile floor in the bathroom above was installed, 1945, between VE and VJ day.

What do you project the rents to be after you add value?

@Steve Vaughan hello Steve I'm Amanda and I'm new to investing and i found a deal in Wenatchee wa and I need some help with running basic rehab numbers would you by chance be willing to help me?

It shows basically you will brake even. 

Basically all retirement accounts work this way, the only difference with self-directed IRA or 401k is that you have alternative investment options beyond stock market.Also, if you use Roth then distributions will be tax free.

Hello Guys,Im looking for a project manager local to Atlanta I can work with on an ongoing basis.

Basically you are replacing current lone with another. often it is done when you can achieve better terms on the new loan OR if the property gone up in value you can refinance the property and pull some of the equity out. 

It looks like you have that at the top , but not the bottom, and that throws off your projections.
