I'm at the finish line... so I'm weighing my decisions on this loan with this lender.  

I have two questions, any home improvements I made like finishing my basement I know I can add to the cost basis of the home, do I need to have receipts for all my drywall, lumber , etc or can I just use a good faith estimate?

The plan was to rent the house out after repairs but I was unable to find another home to rent and was not able to finish repairs. 

The idea is to create cashlow and wealth through equity and appreciation so the plan we can build few units , sell them and split profit 50/50, while I am the boots on the ground overseeing the process of building from start to finish, meanwhile the partner brings 100% of funding. 

The only thing to consider is painting over a high gloss finish with a less glossy finish.

Through persistent learning, networking, and measured risk-taking, you may attain prosperity and construct a lucrative portfolio of investment properties.

With the assistance of a real estate agent or lawyer, submit an offer, work out the conditions, arrange for inspections, and finish your due diligence before finalizing the purchase.Note that investing in real estate is a journey that requires perseverance, patience, and flexibility.

You need a spreadsheet that covers every possible budgetary item along with allowances for the finishes.

Well, James you started an interesting thread.I hear what you’re saying, but by the responses it would be hard to push this concept to the finish line as a requirement. 

Hi Kevin, We just finished a fire house rebuild with our crew.
