Neighbor sharing the wall did a remodel of bathroom and kitchen (both along the wall) without the HOA knowledge/approval.

I have had to re-think this leaving the 9-5 for full time REI, I mean I could be remodeling rentals all day long, but that's trading one job for another.  

We remodeled the home we currently live in and are nearly done.

I want someone who knows the market, and is willing to give their inputOur old realtor would walk a house and say yes or no, IE should would talk us out of properties she didn't like either the neighborhood or the value/remodel cost.she had the eye of an investor, managed her own properties. 

Paul/Minneapolis are remodeling work?

Sounds like the place already needs to be remodel.

I have a 2 family completely remodeled and occupied.

Refresh Exterior landscaping, remodeled bathrooms and kitchens is what will get you the most on your investment.

I'm willing to bet that your flooring contractor is charging per sq. foot which means he makes more money by doing it the easy way.I'll be doing a flooring job soon and the only place I will be putting the flooring underneath anything is in the bathroom where it will go under the toilet and vanity only because it would be virtually impossible to install the vinyl planks in the small spaces between them and the walls and the tub. 

I now set deadlines with payment penalties, and I know more about the remodel process so as to not be taken too easily moving forward.
