Are you saying that the mental conclusion that a seller makes is essentially what determines whether or not I could get in trouble structuring a deal with them without proper licensing?

It sounds like they (the roofer or the GC) is trying to make up for lost profit.When I did my analysis of the proposals, I came to the conclusion that my mentor’s roofer would probably pay $6500 in parts and labor, and he would profit $1500 (a grand total of $8000).The GC did change his original proposal to meet the $8000, but he told me the scope of work would be changed as well.

I have seen the balance sheets.Frankly I'm not sure how you arrived at your conclusion based on my last comment....

You draw conclusions based on that data, and when you dont get a lead... that data must have been wrong right?

I've managed my own tenant before, but not through section 8, so I don't want to jump to any conclusions about whether my PM is making mistakes.Thanks for any advice!

In conclusion, the first takeaway is that you may be comparing apples and oranges when comparing properties of different sizes, even if they are in the same market.

I had come to the same conclusions so I just was making sure that others agreed with me!

My conclusion is that there is no "10 best ways" or easy way or right way.

I was looking through some stipulations for the VA loan and started to come to that conclusion but I couldn't find anything definitive so thanks again. 

Others may add to this thread, but my CONCLUSIONS here are: Full primer is NOT the industry standard unless the customer specifies.
