:Gas logs at Lowes start at $169There are Youtube videos on how to put them inI'd probably budget 500-1,000 depending on price of the logs and distance to gas lineUsing CSST pipe will probably make the job faster I ran one for my daughter.Tapped into the black pipe outside as the fireplace was cantilevered off the family room next to the gas meter.I basically drilled through the side of the old wood burning f/p chimney/firebox & ran the black pipe into the firebox & installed a gas log insert.Even though the gas insert was supposedly "vent free" I added an intake for the combustible air through the side & exhausted it up through the existing chimney.The total cost was $399 for the remote controlled 22" gas log insert & I added a small blower fan $20 in the firebox.

Not only will this narrow your focus for marketing to certain sellers/properties but when you do get them under contract you have some immediate contacts that would be very interested in taking it off your hands. 

Even if you find one, they may not be interested in taking the time to teach you.

My Goal is to grow my business to making at least $250,000.00 in take home per year.  

Let them know that you're interested in taking a look and that you're qualified.
