Forgive me if I'm wrong but does the app allow you to reference your past posts and provide reply notifications? I don't see that feature anywhere.

Thank you EVERYONE for the replies. Its interesting to see such a diverse opinion on the topic. With that said, I think for me and my business model I'm going to move forward with keeping my budget to myself, having a solid task list ready to provide to the contractors, and then working with the contractor to make any adjustments necessary after I receive the bid. 

I like the idea of getting at least 3 bids as well until I have gained enough data to know what I should be spending and until I can identify contractors that I can trust and work with well. 

@Wayne Brooks thanks for the insight. I guess I'm trying to weigh what would be the best way to attain the right contractors for my flips. Once I find them I'll keep them around. I'm testing both ways of just coming out and telling them as well as not saying anything regarding my budget.

I'm interested to hear from other Rehabbers on how they communicate their budget to contractors. 

Do you keep your budget to yourself until you collect all your bids? 

Or do you hint or perhaps even come straight out and tell them how much you have to spend based on the level of rehab/finish-out you need? 

Discuss..... :)

@Thomas Blaine all of these comments from fellow BPer's are spot on. It's a great start in your analysis and I see that you're using J Scott's analysis worksheet. Only thing I could add is that this worksheet has really been better for me in SFR's rather than multi family.

@Michael Blank  this could be a good spot to mention a certain analysis tool ;-) 

What overall grade would you give the area? What city is it in?

This opportunity is meant for a very specific, performance driven type of individual. You're state of mind, passion, and commitment to success no matter what type of obstacle stands in the way is more important to us than your "experience." This opportunity is meant for someone that sees themselves as someone they are not before they actually are. It's for someone who is never satisfied and who thrives on challenge and opposition. This opportunity is meant for someone who WILL make their dreams a reality.

If you're someone who is looking for comfort and security, or someone that is ok with the norm, or someone who lets current circumstances stop you from making decisions, or someone who likes to be told where to be at what time and how much your worth then you need not apply.

But if you want to work with a company that expects you to eventually leave and pursue you're own investment opportunities or personal business visions then we want to hear from you. We will provide a place for you to actively pursue your dreams if you are willing to accept challenge and risk failure in return for self-fulfillment and personal happiness.

SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY!! Please send me an personal essay of why I should select you for an interview as well as a minimum of 3 character references. You can keep your resume at home.

We will be starting interviews this week.

Thank you!

Thanks @Ramon Jenkins !

I received a unique lead last week that isn't in my investment area. The property is located in Lacrosse, WI on French Island bordering Lake Onalaska and the Mississippi River. I've done some very "general" analysis on this property but don't want to put much more time into it unless I can JV this with a wholesaler or buyer directly that knows the area.

This home is on a 50x100 double lot and about 1295 sq ft. It is a 3/2/2.5. and owned outright. Built in the 50's with an addition in the 80's.

Contact me directly if you'd like to discuss this property. Thanks.
