I had initially thought they would do 1 payment. 

I'll bet you can get it done for less. 

This brings the total price of this townhouse to about $200K, so if you think I was nervous about the $181 price tag, you can bet that I'm groaning to myself at the $200K price tag.So why am I still wanting to move forward?

So when you initially clicked on it it would have asked you to update your real estate experience and then there would be suggestions like read the ultimate beginners guide, or analyze a deal, ect.

Oxnard might be an area that has better initial caps.

The goal is to come to an initial agreement with the buyer before getting anyone else involved.

I'm looking for some guidance from some of the more experienced California flip investors in luxury homes to see if they might use a matrix or formula to plug in a set of  rehab estimation numbers for a luxury rehab as they are initially looking into the potential of a project being an acquisition candidate before they actually walk the property.I can typically create an estimated improvement budget for almost any commercial property in both office and industrial for proforma purposes before visiting the property, but residential is a new animal for me. 

Postlets.com and CL are your best bet! 

I plan to learn the ropes and fund initial long term acquisitions though flipping.

On this foreclosure, the bank postponed their initial counter offer until 5pm the next business day.
