For example, our cabinetry was 40% less than our lowest proposal because I took the time to go directly to a manufacturer and become a dealer (there's a lot of mark-up in cabinets). 

I partnered with another investor that is proposing a 60% down payment so that he can be in 1st position.

Do you know the rationale behind this proposed decision?

How do you propose that an inexperienced, out of state wanna be investor with a busy career and family that has no experience managing a project is going to do it without getting their clocks cleaned?

I propose responders to give their view of a local market they are familiar with.

Oh and yep - the more landlords treat tenants badly, the more tenants will fight for more restrictive legislation.

We need the below:Site plan- Floor plans, exterior elevations, preliminary structural design, building sections, preliminary cabinet layout andelevations, preliminary interior elevations- -dimensional exterior and/or interior renderings depicting the proposed work.

I would like to avoid buying the house outright before flipping it, so here's my creative flip that I'm looking for input on.What I'm thinking of proposing to the current owner is that he retain possession of the house, and we remodel the house and get it ready to sell.

If you are in the 45-day identification period you can just swap the proposed property with the intermediary. 

I am happy to know I am well on my way as I have already achieved everything you propose and am working on the whole swinning hammer thing.
