Lots of investors who are new are looking for installers.

Moreover, those to whom you might sell on installment terms may not have the perseverance or skills to manage them.

I've been searching for a while here on BP but have not found a thread related to my situation:I've been renovating and renting a property for just over 2 years and may be in a position to sell/close in the next 30-60 days.I am trying to cut-off major projects at this time to make a clean break, however we have committed to replacing windows in one of the units (windows are already ordered), with total project lead-time of 45-60 days (windows have been hard to get for the past year).In the event we have a closing date PRIOR to window installation, how should we handle paying the contractor?

Separate considerations:a) My friend works for this painter and I have been trying to pay her on the side to do the work under the table.b) I am trying to get the kitchen painted by June 2nd because I am having the cabinets installed and the kitchen is already demoed.c) I currently have a contractor working on the bathroom and she agreed to paint the kitchen but she has been very slow.Thank you for all the advice!

In the past, I've seen an owner put metal military bunks in the rooms, bunkbeds.

Install some nice hardware on them and you have a kitchen that looks so much nicer than solid oak or pine cabinets.

I did not read the entire post -- sorry if it's a duplicate.call around to all local cabinet specialty shops -- high volume shops sometimes have orders that fall through and are custom made for someone else's space that can be a great deal -- and retrofit into the space in which you need it.hope this helpsalso if you install the prefab unfinished cabinets yourself you can do an average sized kitchen for 1200 + 200 for paint/stain done in 3-4 days max

I think the carpets were installed in the 20's. 

They cant be expected to run to the shop, grab materials, install at cost.

Installed fine.
