So, if that's a condition for you to buy, you can forget the idea right away. 

Here are a few additional ideas that have worked for me and others in competitive markets like Austin:Off-Market Leads from Contractors: I had a friend who rehabbed a house in North Austin last year.

While the offer sounds tempting, I want to ensure I capitalize on these contracts fairly and effectively.Here are my main questions:Should I entertain the idea of terminating my current contracts, or is it better to stick to my original wholesale plan?

I have a few (legal) marketing ideas I haven't seen any other wholesalers use just yet that I think will help give me an upper-hand making it a win-win-win for all involved, but I'm glad we're on the same page because I want to do this right.

Let’s definitely connect—I’m always interested in collaborating or sharing ideas related to investment opportunities in Washington!

Quote from @James Kerson: One other idea: scrap the idea of door-openers altogether.

You should be able to get a reasonable idea of the construction cost fairly quickly.

Not as big of an impact today, but I can see Trump reinstating the full bonus depreciation idea and making it retroactive. 

Only exception would be if you have a game room or extra living area that is far from the kitchen, then it would be a good idea. 

I am playing with a lot of ideas and would love to hear as many opinions as possible.
