I feel on this building, the price we got it at and the ARV warrants the ability to finish some of the space pre-leasing.If others chime in I might rethink it but for now we will market the first floor as is and finish the second and third.

They do not have to be local to the Bay Area at all, just licensed to practice within CA.

Hi @Kabir Hussain,A mortgage is a loan made to a person or entity that wants to buy real estate, which is guaranteed by the borrower's ability to repay and the property itself (through foreclosure usually).

I’ve started to practice analyzing deals one thing that I haven t been sure about assessing is when to sell or refinance a property?

But some companies do it themselves, and I guess have the ability to make mistakes or do bad things.I would fight this.

Then they tell me to expect a call from one of their property managers regarding the work.Days later I get a bill for $1850 from the property management company and it says the property manager called me and I approved the work.The thing is, the property manager never called me, no one ever gave me a quote (only an estimate), and I never approved this expense, and yet they did the work and sent me the bill anyway.What should I do?

Hi all,I'm curious to get everyone's lessons learned / best practices regarding managing out-of-state rehabs. 

Is this regular practice is this a ripoff or junk fee?

But the confluence between and ability to covert either way to your benefit is very powerful. 

The ability to add value in a very hot market.
