There is a saying: pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered.

I have a third deal that we are looking at but have back burnered it to re-evaluate what we can sell it for to see if owner wants to still sell or not, but it would be a cash stretch for us so not racing toward it.Be disciplined on your numbers and I have been scoffing at the wholesalers that talk about holding appreciation for the last 6 months, this is why

I have a burner phone for cold calls and I use my personal phone for follow ups.

For unusual or extreme situations, you would charge the line item price plus your hourly for actual time spent.Individual line items might be window shades, window glass, toilet tank lid, toilet seat, towel rack, door hinge, closet door, outlet/switch, bedroom light, kitchen light, individual bulbs, ceiling fan/light combo, medicine cabinet, repair wall 6", paint touch up per 10' wall, flooring (by type), clogged or slow drain, food disposer, refrigerator bars, drip pans, stove burners, etc.

They may not be barn burners but I have seen some that still will work-be sure of your underwriting.

@Spencer Zeff meant to add one of my favorite quotes “pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered”

Should I put buying properties on the back burner until I find a way to start making more traditional income?

Hi Nick, thanks for the reply.I'm afraid there isn't much more fat to trim off this place.

Our best friends were: a mobile and folding butcher top type table for extra space, A really nice convection toaster oven (the breville high end one is great) and a 2 burner induction top like caterers used that ran on 110V.

The burner heats from the bottom where sediment settles.
