Whenever I have an issue with financing, I normally contact local institutions.

Is it normal for a contractor to charge $150 fee to inspect a property in order to give a bid/line item estimate?  

I normally tell new investors who are starting in their RE investing that want to house hack, who don't kids to invest in gentrifying markets or in areas that are starting to move in that direction.

@Joseph Weisenbloom - I normally don't counter sign leases before receiving cashier checks or the funds in my account for the security deposit and first months rent.

No list would be compete without Ashland. lol It's a really charming city that you normally won't pass through unless you're looking for it.

The policy will cover the Existing Building normally at Actual Cash Value (depreciated value) and the improvements you are putting in at Replacement Cost.  

"Normal sells" I want my house to look just like it was newly constructed.

That's why we normally house hack residential homes.  

Normally this would be taxable boot.

QuickBooks:  I think for normal people who aren't accountants, QuickBooks is not a good choice in my opinion.
