Hello fellow BPers.

I've done some searches here on our forum for photos of signages on cars & trucks but don't seem to see many, if any.

Can people with letters/signs on their vehicles snap some photos to show case please?

Let leave the discussion of work/no work separate on a different thread if we can.  :)  Hehehe.

Thanks & good day.

Bravo!  Can't wait for the update so I can start using the app. 

Is the app full featured?  I have the big phone but it's always nice to just click on the app and start using, vs going through the pages and tabs etc...

oh yeah, too bad you can't add sqft. 

In my area, cost to add sqft is probably about $150-250/sqft depend on the setup, roughly speaking. But ARV is at least double or triple that :). So when I'm looking for flip, first thing would be to see if I can add more sqft or not.

Anyway, keep us updated on the progress. $100k profit is very inspiring as the 1st. ????

I think the wholesaler's numbers are just FYI so you can decide to see if you want to proceed to the next step: your own due diligence. Trust but verify :). 

You need to check all numbers against your own calculator (like you mentioned about J's suggestions: with your own estimate methods, or inspector/trust worthy contractor if you're brand new in this). 

The matter of fact, an investor client of mine just asked me to go out and give him a rough estimate (+-10%) tomorrow afternoon for a project that he plans to turn an offer in. I provide this service for my close clients. 

Like some of the seasoned BPers suggested, build some cushion in your number just in case. Be a bit more conservative in the first deals. Not too much you might loose the deal, but at least making sure EVERYTHING is accounted for. 

Good luck and have fun :)

I haven't used the single combo yet, only double combo (2 level). 

The specs look good though
