Great post it is very good to see a contractors contributing on BP, I know and understand how busy work can be.

Talk to inspectors, local contractors and start walking properties (ask a local investor if you can tag along if they have projects in the works )- you start getting a sense of how much renovation costs are, what are major safety issues and what's minor, what your offer price should be, and the ARV.I can't speak to the mentorship program since I'm not in it.

You should consult with a qualified contractor to discuss options and costs for proper repairs.

However, it seems that the contractor missed a step with installation.

Hey @Jim Vani - No problem...I think oftentimes people who create courses or provide mentorship-type programs like @Andrew Holmes get a bad rap, but often the people who are criticizing them are the people who aren't taking action or are not happy with their results.I am actually not going to BPCon2023 because I have another event in Atlanta during the same week...I think next year I'll be there for sure.Regardless, of BPcon, I'd be happy to connect...we are both in Chicago and contractors...I always looking to learn from others who have been doing the industry.

There are a couple that use eventbrite for registration, but I usually see those posted on FB as well.
