Hey everyone, 

With regards to contractors specifically, when setting up work I have read and heard referenced on BP that some people will work in bonuses for work finished early and fees if work goes over schedule. I was wondering how this is incorporated in real life. Is it a percentage or a flat bonus/fee? What have you used in previous projects? Thanks for the help as always. 

Pete

Hey everyone, 

This is my first post, but have been listening to BP podcast and analyzing deals for a few weeks now. I decided that my 2022 resolution is to buy my first house (currently renting) and rent out the other bedrooms. I live in Jacksonville, FL and from a cash flow perspective it seems like many of the deals I'm analyzing are either breaking even or maybe a little positive cash flow per month. My guess is that it's because I'm using a VA loan with 0% down. Should I be pursuing a property like this as a first home just to get started, banking on the equity building with time and essentially living for free, or should I be looking into properties with better cash flow overall? The market in Jax is hot and need to be ready to pull the trigger when the opportunity arises. Appreciate the input!
