I had a painter who never supplied the necessary documents and in the end, I had doubts he could even provide them.

He noted there was a serious lack of supply, that 50 bidders show up on the courthouse steps and compete aggressively for foreclosures, that there is a big investment group buying up everything they can get their hands on for buying-holding, and that basically the investors he knows are sitting tight.

Since inception Colony has invested $48 billion in over 19,000 assets/loans and has ~$25 billion of assets under management (gross) on behalf of over 250 institutional investors.Through the identification of supply-demand source imbalances in capital, product types and information availability, Colony achieves attractive risk-adjusted returns by investing in real estate and real estate-related debt investments, non-performing loans, distressed assets, real estate-dependent operating companies, and select commercial and residential development opportunities throughout the world.

So I made some calls and contacted the store manager at a local lowes as they seem to have the largest supplies and asked them to find me scratch and dents/ repaired or discontinued appliances.

Curious because I just tiled a kitchen countertop in charcoal tile with white subway tile backsplash (painted cabints white) for maybe $200 in supplies.

Perhaps you can supply some details so others can better network with you?

I see DIY things as I go through places, and some DIY types don't realize that there should be a drip leg on the gas supply, right where the water heater or heating system gets gas.

What are building permits and starts like and how will that affect supply?

Which include new roof, paint and new gas lines.Wholesale fee $1,500Closing and Holding costs $1,000Total cash in $32,500 (which I am supplying)Estimated selling price $45,000Total projected profit after 5% closing costs $10,250 of which I getInvestor Payout (5% for 6 months = 10% APR $1,250Investor Projected Profit (20% profit split) $2,050So my investment of $32,500 for six-months will return $3,300Does the above seem fair?

Someone removed the water meter and there is no shutoff on the supply pipe--when I walked in, there was water gushing out and 4 inches of water in the whole house!
