I’ve noticed that in places like San Antonio or even Omaha, from what I read in Forbes, the best projects come from really tapping into that local network.What you did..approaching the owner, closing fast, scraping the old structure..shows guts and a willingness to get your hands dirty.

Gutted the floors myself and installed new subfloor and new flooring on entire first floor.

My gut feeling is it's going to cost around $4,000 to repair and has been there for ages.

I decided I had learned from pay mistake and did not entirely gut the apt.  

You must not follow your instinct and attempt to invest as little as possible into the renovations thinking "If someone is willing to live in this neighborhood there is no way they have standards". 

They do know and want something in place you will have to go back to them to fix, or they're doing their best to go with the client's unrealistic wishes and don't have the guts to tell them that won't work.After dealing with plenty of these, I will tell you what I see works best. 

A lot of the basis of my position on this can be described as “gut feel”.  

Is this how you wanted your $500,000 investment managed...so this company could absorb a $1.8 million loss.The syndicator brings in illegal and unlicensed immigrants and guts the inside of every apartment.

I had built up this moment of leaving the partnership to be this massive gut-wrenching decision.

I will be down soon if the inspection goes well today, which it should be perfect given it was a full gut remodel.
