And the final step, what will you do with your current home?  

Use your equity without a bank  to get your next deal done. 

The buyer representation agreement states that the buyer commission amount offered by the seller (usually 2% to 3%) is credited/refunded to the buyer.

I'm guessing the longer we do it, the more contractors we'll know and that will help. 

MAREI meets next week - we have a new meeting place starting on the 12th at the Double Tree. 

Happy to go through some details on that if that'd be helpful.

Then I would either go to your GC with the info, or go directly to your subs (licensed electrician etc.) with the info.

All the best

Quote from @William Penn House Jr: I just got off the webinar and fell for the OKEDOK,  It was clearly stated the they would charge only $197 tioday as well as monthly and that would include everything.

Valuing your time and understanding your limits and skills will make a big difference in the equity you build, the quality of the work and your sanity.
