Would you dig 120 feet of trench 3 feet deep, and get the material, for $350?

One lesson learned: Create a good relationship with contractor and shop around for the best pricing on materials.

Issues we faced were conflicting opinions on the next home we should purchase for our portfolio and what upgrades to do when we were doing a flip, the cost of labor and materials, etc.

Tough spot!

Hello, I’m interested on getting some insight from anyone willingI currently live in Seattle and want to get into REI but the cost out here makes it tough to be able to get involved without capitalI read the out of state investing book and it got me interested in trying somewhere that I don’t have to burn up all my capital to get started1.

Beyond that, you need to become an expert on labor and material rates in your area or get connected with someone else that is. 

The rates and market have made San Diego a tough buy and hold market.  

The roofer gave me a invoice with high level bill of material, and a statement that it has 2 years of warranty and brand name of the shingles.It does not say brand name warranty or model or batch number etc. 

It's shedding material from impact of sun's rays, that's how elec is produced.

When you have unscheduled entry as an option, I think it encourages them to do weird stuff like hide stuff in weird spots, etc because they are always on guard.Hoarders clauses would have to be linked to fire codes I think for excess people and materials near fire sources, etc.
