Once again thank you for all your input and I hope you all have an amazing week and a happy new year!

Hey BiggerPockets Community,I’m Steven Menotti, owner of Menotti Construction Group LLC (KB-1 licensed) and a fellow real estate investor here in the Phoenix Metro area.

One day several weeks after close, they sent me an "invoice" via email with no body, just an attachment with a jumble of line items - It included one of the two items they were getting a quote for me on (new flooring), some but not all of the items they were supposed to fix as part of the contract (with prices even though they were paying), and a few other items I was not familiar with. 

It will include a compact bathroom, a tiny kitchen area, and a heater—just the essentials to make it comfortable for someone to stay in.

Usually, this is a sign of stability and a preview of the types of people who live in the area. 

We actually have our main meeting coming up on January 14 and a county meetup in Clermont the following week .
