My attorney wrote my lease, I wouldn't trust a lease that came from Staples, Office Depot, etc.

Is it just a matter of going to Home Depot / Lowes ?

When I told him what model I wanted (the same that I use in my investments properties that can be bought at Home Depot for $99), he quoted me $377.65 to replace it.I tried to keep a straight face when I asked him how long it would take to do the work, and he said about 30 minutes.

Often times stuff you buy at Home Depot or Lowes will not match up.

Those holding costs may be different for you but are generally, utilities, the actual payments on the house if you have any, maintenance like gardener or what not, and insurance.So 65%ARV - Rehab = Purchase PriceOriginally posted by Shannon Xerri:if paying in cash how much should you bring down the price, but still beat all the other offers?

MENARDS AND HOME DEPOT ARE NOT CONTRACTOR SUPPLY YARDS, THEY MAY USE THEM BUT EVER REAL PRO CONTRACTOR USES CONTRACTOR ONLY SUPPLY YARDS AND CONNECTIONS, EVEN MANUFACTURER DIRECT SUPPLY IF THERE GOOD ENOUGH.

I used all vinyl mini blinds in my rental because they were like 6.50 a piece at home depot and I needed some way to screen people from looking in the windows when I was rehabbing it.

I got an estimate of rent on the house from Zillow.com, which did not allow for the solar panels or my inclusion of the gardener.

I stop at Home Depot every day on the way to the job.

You could politely ask if they would be willing to work on the garden, read on the back porch, fiddle with something in the garage - just somewhere where they are not under foot and could kill the deal by being too pushy or talkative.
