I am a cheap SOB , so I will be loading it in the pickup with the dump insert , and a trailer , I can make 4 tons in 1 trip .

I am concerned about the timing of the deliveries though which is why I am hoping someone has this experience.

I'm currently reading an oldie, but cheap find from a yard sale...How to Buy Your First Home or Investment Property with No Down Payment - Step by Step Manual by Carlton H.

One of the things that must mean is that rent is cheap compared to the cost of buying.

You will only sell that house if buyers consider the trade off having a nice house (or a cheap house) on a busy street worth the sacrifice.And you wonder why agents were all so off on the price...many agents will take any listing and tell you any price so they get your listing and then they will use your house to get buyers for other properties.

I like it not only because it is cheap, but it also has a software API that I use to integrate into my accounting software and property management software (I'm in software development as my primary job).

I could probably buy it really, really cheap because I will handle the headache of getting the tenants out.  

A job of this length should be fixed cost... the only reason to go T&M like this is -1) You're dealing with a -very- unique house or project that is impossible to estimate in advance.2) You're dealing with a job that may take a day or two, tops, and is so small it's hard to estimate in advance and easier to simply pay a daily rate.This sounds more like a shady contractor trying to take advantage of a new investor.Pro tip: The reason better contractors are too busy for you is probably because you're telling them out the gate that you need rock bottom pricing, everything has to be cheap, and you're supplying materials.

Thought I would get an extra half dozen credit cards on hand with 0% for 18 months Thinking I could cover any major calamity with them and maybe get a cheap property or two using them and still stay under 25% usage before getting a loan.Currently My credit utilization is 11%,Just hit with 7 inquiries from getting credit cards  We moved several months ago if that matters No late pays  Today my  lowest score was 686 all three dropped.I would guess its all the new credit hurting meAny idea on time limit for scores to go back up?

And they wonder why banks do so well .We wont even talk about the whole bails out or any of that cheap money they get.
