Those are made-up numbers but you get the drift.

The Taku Lodge which you reach by float plane across glaciers.

mwarden,We are drifting further away from the intent of this thread...Consult an accountant---reducing expenses has an oppositte effect on revenue/income and that is why it was included in my top 8---This is SAP...Inflation raises rent rolls, but doesn't have an effect on the largest portion of an investor's cost structure, namely debt service (principal and interest payments on the mortgage are fixed based upon the terms of the loan irrespective of inflation---taxes and insurances and other operating expenses would be effected by inflation).

The days of rising tide floating all boats is over so to make the real dollars you must create the value yourself.

I've messed up a tile job once, a sheetrock repair once, an electrical connection once, catch the drift.

I don't like my checks floating around like that.Thanks for any feedback about this entire deal.

I've drifted through these forums for a week or so now and figured I might as well join in :)So here I am.

Whether cutting in around corners and up against walls (floor), taping and floating the joints of the sheetrock boards or roofing a valley, around a stack, chimney or skylight.Look at those places first for obvious problems.

I know some of you are looking at this from the clients point of view, and I understand that since I've done property rehabbing myself, but it's really difficult and risky for a contractor to float a lot of money.One thing I'm thinking is that if I get a resellers license I can possibly treat the sale of materials as separate from the installation contract.

We also prepare analysis for the bank to look at for each property we purchase to show that we can easily float such a loan.
