If you are confident in the deal and can handle in additional financial commitment in terms of your overall portfolio, then I would do the debt side as well to give your equity at least some measure of additional protection and control.

In Michigan, square footage is usually determined by measuring the outside of the house.

In my opinion, it is better used as a preventive measure after another type of treatment is done.

@Joshua AndrewsIRR is the more accurate measurement.

If written in contract(Private Seller), but risky.....Never try with a HUD..They continue to inspect properties up until closing...You will lose the deal..I take pictures, get measurements and materials list to complete rehab...On closing day change locks first and ready to go!

Also I had other parallel tasks inside the house going at the same time.I did the initial measurements and design on the computer, started looking for materials and labor help.

Nobody likes to do it and this is another measure that could set you apart.

He is going to go over there tomorrow to get measurements and provide a bid as well.I had $6000 in the budget for this, so hopefully I don't get hung out to dry on this one....

Again, these prices are very basic, and there is really no substitution for pulling a tape measure on each space and plugging your metrics into a more sophisticated estimation model.Please remember that these costs vary a greatly by region, and our company also receives excellent pricing because of its size.

Friends who had seen my scarred chest CHOSE to believe the lies, including one person who had helped me drain and measure my tubes.And when people start beliving such a horrible lie about a person, other lies pile up.Suicide is the leading cause of death among most "high functioning" Autistic age groups [maybe all] but I had NEVER felt suicidal in my entire life, not until then.
