Thank you.   I found them on Google too.  Their phones go to voice mail saying they will not be available until after Oct 26th.  

I am in need of a contractor that can do a larger patio with colored and stamped concrete in the Bryan / College Station (BCS, Brazos County) area.

Any referals would be greatly appreciated.

Indeed.   This went from crap work, to it being about me telling Scott Flynn of Road Runner Construction to never return and how I was unreasonable for doing so.  It is apparent heneither had had the skill set to do the work or manage subs properly.  The position of Lifestyles Unlimited was that I was to give him as many chances as necessary to remedy the shoddy work.  To that, I say no.

I was remiss in posting an update to this thread.  The situation was completely resolved in less than 3 months, but only with the assistance and pressure of the Biggerpockets community.   Because of the power of this community and the savings incurred, I upgraded my membership here as I now see the true value of Biggerpockets.  Thank you everyone.

UPDATE:   Contractor paid me back in full and Lifestyles Unlimited invited me to surrender my membership with a full refund.  They took their toys and kicked me out of the sandbox.

In part this is what the VP, Lynn Andris had to say.

Well that varies by YOU.  How creative you can become in talkng people out of their houses, your credit, available capital, connections, deaires, goals, drive....  You are the only one that can limit you.

 LU inc teaches that flipping is not investing. Flipping is a taxable event. Buy & hold is full of tax advantages. They taech use hard money, rehab, refi and leverage yourself to the max and then sell at some point and move into multi family via a 1031 exchange.

With the likes of Lifestyles Unlimited selling hype from $500-$15,000, they have produced a ton of hungry fish in that pond.  

I have my credit union filling up my mailbox and blowing up my phone at least once a week wanting to give me a line of credit.

I could take their money and and use it for investing.   Go big, you don't want to go broke over a duplex, right?

Use their money to secure and asset and refi after rehab.

What say you?

It is a low end 10 unit apartment bldg in nowhere Texas.  Currently renting at $300 a month, but rents are being raised to $400.00 and that is about all that can be squeezed out of it or the forseable future.   

BTW, I appreciate toilet humor, its not all snobery and business in my world.

My thoughts exactly on the re-glaze.   It is a a rental, low end apartments that will not support a bathroom remodel.  There are 10 of them exactly the same.   I like your thinking.  They will be referred to as "nuetral tones" from now on.
