Include the finish selections as well so they understand what is being installed (Carpet is cheaper than hardwood and if you install hardwood herringbone thats even more expensive).Then you have the general terms as part of the contract which are insurance requiremens, licensing, schedule, indemnifications, lien waivers, case of default. 

So to get up there, I've got to wear a harness, and install an anchor point on the roof.

We installed fresh flooring throughout, updated the bathroom, and gave the entire property a fresh coat of paint inside and out.

When the installers came they should have said, nope, this can’t be done.

I worked with developers and contractors for many years and the best way I saw this type of situation proceed was for the individual to partner with a mass homebuilder - depends on how big the property is - and also partner with a GC to install the infrastructure to the specs of the homebuilder.

Rad, of Tampa, Florida, was supposed to repay the loan in 239 monthly installments of $18,317.

I just wrote an offer for full asking price at 30 day close, with a contingency to extent at BUYERS choice for 30 more days if I don't get an favorable response on the electricity install costs.

Not interested in installing new flooring or new windows.

It wasn’t how I wanted to kick things off, but I worked with a contractor to get the bathroom fixed and functional.Once that was behind me, I focused on improving the building and maximizing income:I installed a shared washer and dryer for the tenants, a major upgrade that added convenience and increased the property’s value.I rented out the two garage parking spaces, bringing in consistent revenue.I also raised rents for the second- and third-floor tenants I inherited to be just below market-rate.

My updated expected monthly rental income will be $2,800, resulting in a cash flow of $795 per month (excluding my share of the split utilities).I plan to set aside at least 80% of my cash flow for property-related expenses.Additionally, I’ll be installing keypads and security cameras for enhanced safety and operational efficiency.
