The second it gets listed, the blood is in the water and everyone and their brother will come out of the woodwork.  

You can still do a plank subfloor with a thinner maple covering over that. 

@Jordan Shapiro and@Gyl ChinBeware: sharks smell blood. 

this is a nationwide issue.few things are working in concert.competition for deals  mean thinner margins.. materials are basically the same cost for allLabor is the place were folks try to save on costs.so in the rehab world compared to new construction.. you basically can't hire top end help on a 15k rehab... were is the money for the GC... 2 to 3k ? 

Sometimes it is like studying for a blood test.

Obviously, this is a much thinner margin of protection than the previous example and probably not enough to cover a real estate agent’s commission should the home be sold.

I am very ambitious and ready to put the blood sweat and tears in.

and that just may not be the case just words spoken in anger, so let it ride for a bit.  2) If in fact someone is leaving I honestly don't believe telling them they are both responsible for rent and holding to it is going to help in anyway, (blood from a stone)  You CAN however remind them that they are both responsible, but give them an alternative to make alternative payment arraignments (collect from each party separately) or leave quickly if there is no chance of reconciliation.  

There were blood stains on the wall which really scared us. 

If you are someone who is looking for a motivated partner, who is willing to put their time, blood, sweat, and tears into Real Estate Investing, I'm your guy.
