I get a call to to a counter, I dont need to measure cuz I have a price wheter it is 4 feet or 40, it evens out in the end and they LOVE it.Originally posted by "askingfullprice":You know its too bad that contractors have gotton such a bad rap !

They have painted, used power tools, measured and cut siding, placed trim, dug ditches, cut sheetrock, pulled carpet, filled dumpsters, swept roofs, raked yards, cleaned driveways and gutters, built walls, hung new cabinets, hung notices, sat in court, and so much more; if they knew it or not learned more hands-on Real Estate than any book could teach them.All that said, my 23 year old daughter wants to get into the business.

Keep in mind that your renters are probably not suited for buying, and there have been posts recently mentioning buying with as low as 600 so if they were above that they could buy.So you are better off looking at rent payment history and utility payment history to get a measure of credit-worthiness.

They always say "Measure twice, cut once" ...so you catch a problem before it catches you.You could always just figure what price would make it work for you and then run it by the bank.

Just in case it's not obvious, my unit of measure is "number of hours per day I can spend with my family or do whatever else my wife will let me do..." :-)

As landlords, everything isn't measured by the dollar....there is a lot of value to keeping a long term tenant happy and you now have reached a point where you have to do something.

Your "team" is the key to measuring the value of entering this deal.

At least that is how I read it.I will need to measure the lot and go to the city to let them decide if it passes or not... right?

I doubt the $9 was a test of any kind but just a measure of someone not good with her money and reliant on everyone else to solve her problems...the worst kind of tenant in my book.
