Its been a pretty good return on investment, as far as getting the phone to ring. 

Hey Jen,I'm Thinking the retrofit is just the outside trim ring and lamp socket  with the spring clip retainer to hold it in the old work/new construction housing.

Does that ring a bell?

William welcome for some reason the name rings a bell.

Knowing I can pass them on and make a few quick dollars myself.I always wondered why folks sit and wait for the phone to ring instead of getting out there and finding deals.

Outside the central city, there are solid neighborhoods at the inner-ring for flipping (Castle Hills, Oak Hills, Ridgeview, East Shearer Hills, Macarthur Park/Terrace, Eden/Seven Oaks, Alamo Heights, Terrell Hills, and several more).  

I am currently seeking to move into the commercial multifamily space, so I am glad to connect with you.Be sure to join the RING / Baton Rouge REIA at http://www.meetup.com/the-ring/We meet once a month on the 2nd Tuesday evening and that is a great venue to build a network with other local investors.See you at the top!

The tenant also said they smelled sewage when it was acting up, and I noticed the bottom of the toilet was wet, and the toilet is loose so obviously it needs to be bolted down more, should I replace the wax ring?

Being a woman, you already have the outer rings of the target drawn on your forehead.I also think you should run as far away as you can from that contractor because, no matter what 'deal' you make with him, his underlying intention, now exposed, is to take advantage of your ignorance, and there are a million ways he can do it if you put him in a position to.Believe me, I know.Luckily, experience is not the only way to put yourself in control of your flips.

I also attended my first webinar today and it really motivated me to get out there and meet you guys, so I joined "The RING" as you guys call it and am looking forward to meeting other people in the real estate network.
