I just passed my CA real estate exam and I'm looking for an investor friendly brokerage firm in Orange County CA.  

I seriously doubt anyone  will give you a firm price , there are way too many variables , that would be a time and material job ,  you could spend more to rehab the pool than to get a brand new one .

I am continuing to work full time in my business and therefore I am using a property management firm to manage the properties.

I spent 3 years working for a $600 million Minneapolis-based private equity firm (ShoreView Industries) which gave me great experience analyzing financial statements and dealing with leveraged investments.  

I did a basic search of private equity real estate investment firms.

I would discuss the tax pro's and con's with your CPA or tax firm before moving forward and consult with your attorney about the same.

I'm a semester away from finishing a business management major and hopefully getting a job with a real estate development or investment firm in NYC.I currently am a manager at my father's general contracting company, Affronti Property Solutions LLC.

I was thinking on joining them or maybe Douglas Realty or possibly another small brokerage firm.

However, as a newbie, I have been reading over the the ultimate beginner's guide to real estate investing that BP offers and I have been doing some other readings on my own and I know at my stage, having a firm financial intelligence foundation is of most importance.

Then talk to the law firm to find out the original amount owed and also the total fees on top of the outstanding balance.
