As a contractor this is the best I have read. The cheap ones always add 5k along the way. 

As a Contractor myself I hear horror stories here in The Kansas City,  Missouri and Kansas markets. A lot of the times it is at the beginning of a long relationship with a new investor. Or walking a historic neighborhood with an investor to get a feel for colors and style of the neighborhood. Then running into a home owner with a partially sided house(tarpaper only) asking her if it was up for sale.  You can see that glazed over look in her eye when she begins to tell us about giving 15k to  a contractor to install hardie board siding and all he did was the demo. Leaving her live-in flip in shambles and her bank account to match.  I am not going to pretend I am perfect but I do have a conscious I am always quick to respond to my teams mistakes and to make right what we have done wrong. Without excuses or blame we fix the issue. 

My question is what has your contractors done wrong? (group therapy feel free to get it off your chest)

What has your contractor done right? 

I would like to learn from others. 

You are probably correct on the price going up. But it was posted on realtor.com and that was the price. I am not buying this house.  This is just me playing with the calc and trying to wrap my head around it. Also making sure I get numbers in the correct spot. I have not went after financing yet. It would more then likely, once I am ready come from conventional lending, portfolio lending, partnership and personal savings. I would take any input on any of this that you have. Also it sounds like I should look into higher asking price homes?

kansas city...Missouri...kansas. buy hold

Veterans day

It shows as a auction property listed at 10k Does that mean you have to bid on it? That is my question. 

Here is my second deal I have analyzed. It seems like it is a good deal. I just want any input on this. It is in The Kansas City, Kansas area and would be a buy and hold. What do you guys think?

If it makes a Difference this in in The Kansas city market

I am just running numbers and playing with the rental calculator. I am not sure if i am messing something up or not I just wanted advice. This is ran at about 5k less then asking price just to try and see if it can make sense. It is also a fanny mae home path home so its a low downpayment I believe. I am not so sure it is a great deal. What do you guys think?
