He didn't even measure I don't think.

The Minnesota contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil.

It seems silly to measure when all your capital is pulled out but that's not always the case and it's a good metric to consider when you have sunk costs in a deal that you can't pull back out. 

It is a a mess, several years of deferred maintenance and a couple handfuls of loose ends tossed in for extra measure.  

I can slide a 10 day bump clause in or 9 inspections we are never going to do just so the buyer can get in to measure curtains.

Many here on BP recommend only buying junker cars (and making other lifestyle cost-cutting measures) while focusing on deal finding/making.ie.

Plus, after tax IRR is your real measure! 

It will take a little while I imagine but having a 4hr travel time is a good measure to have as well, so if you are ever needed, you can make the trip out there relatively quickly.I'm also debating if I should buy in cash or try to get a mortgage, which is harder to get for Canadians, so I've got a few doors to knock on still but it's encouraging to see people making out of state investments so often now.

I'm attaching a picture of the kitchen plans with measurements and hoping someone can help me out.  

Post an ad on Craigslist or something, it's not that hard to measure out and paint lines, you could even tell you're manager you'll give him $150 to do it if he wants the extra money.
