For specific investors, the %ARV may be higher if, for example, they have access to cheap funding, have cheaper construction costs b/c they are their own GC, are a real estate agent so don't pay commission to someone else, or just don't know what they are doing.

I am also planning to get my real estate license to gain access to MLS.

@Jason Munck - If your simply interested in having access to what's on the market, the license is great, if your interested in knowledge, I found the license a completely waste of my time.

(although was a bit more constrained on capital and capital access..).

http://www.section179.org/section_179_vehicle_deductions.htmlMany vehicles that by their nature are not likely to be used for personal purposes qualify for full Section 179 deduction including the following vehicles:Heavy “non-SUV” vehicles with a cargo area at least six feet in interior length (this area must not be easily accessible from the passenger area.)

If not, then this hallway must be restricted to access only via the second unit (behind a locked door where the tenant in unit two only has the key) - in which case there should be no issue.

For a variety of reasons, not the least of which is access to financing, I have decided to move the property back into my personal name (well, my wife and I).My plan is to have the title switched to my personal name when we record the mortgage with my financing company.

I need to somehow get access to the tub drain tee behind the tub.

I've got a couple folks to work repairs as necessary and have access to a decent network out there.

The downside is that you lack the infrastructure that agents get - an office with a broker to assist you, MLS access, etc.
