Now my situation may required less, but the company who did my crawl space did an excellent job. 

We used to do all the qualifying as agents, push the loan officers who didn't want to work to get the job done, give comps to the appraisers etc. etc.

I didn’t know about the chip plant, I will look in to that.are those places close enough to Dallas to be affected by the city and its real estate or is it mainly because of the job growth in the area? 

I was in between jobs for the moment but now moving to Omaha which will allow me to get connected to other investors once I’m there.Makes sense and good luck with everything! 

Quote from @Marc Winter: After many dozens of flooring replacement jobs, I'd recommend LVP (vinyl) for most installations. 

I'll always remember the day I quit my job and went full time.  

I am new to BiggerPockets and to BRRRR.We are two high-income earners, with two full-time jobs that put is at a gross income above $600K/year.

For smaller jobs, half makes sense.

Awesome job
