Hey NIck, all's good in da hood, it got better when you moved out, lol and it gettin a lil better, only a few bodies pop up monthly, lol.

However, I'm not familiar with the general approach I should use, regarding 'HOA' or whichever restricting body is in place on such structures.

Getting a "standard" realtor contract is alright, as long as you attach your custom addendum that effectively erases the junk in the main contract body that you don't want, and adds superceding language that you want.Most realtors are prohibited from "unauthorized practice of law" under their state licensure laws.

I sort of do it when my body decides its tired, in between running around doing all of the things I need to get done.

They had a kind of vinyl plank called Konecto with a 25 year warranty for $3.99/SF (material price only--installation was 2.50/SF extra), and through body porcelain tile for $3.29/SF (labor was 3.29/SF).These prices seem pretty high.

I recently read a book(though not completely REI related, I do believe it would help you) called Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey.

CAS is a highly respected lab that conducts test for the government bodies as well for the same issue.

Did he just throw warm bodies in there?

My answer to the question in the body of your post is "Yes, I agree that sounds too good to be true".Not sure how these two answers are related, but I'll help out if I can...

i currently make over $1,100 a month renting my spare bedrooms out to peers.
