I've studied a little bit of their material, and neither of them seem to be recording mortgages.

Maybe you can move up and get a promotion where you currently work?

Material costs are certainly up in my local market. 

We paid out of pocket for the rehab (with a little help from in-laws), and also opened up a new Credit Card and used it for many of the material and some labor costs.

I cannot do enough justice in describing the power behind the material in this book so you'll just have to go check it out yourself.Let's just say that, before, I was like a bull running around in a China shop.

I like creating good marketing material and putting it online.

Anyone can have a dispute over material facts, but ingrained resentment just by virtue of having to pay rent is a different matter.

Rawn, I think the reason for the PM is that folks are afraid of violating rules about self-promotion.

I have a ton of Home Depot and Lowe's receipts that I have no idea if the materials are paint or cabinets etc.

I plan to hire a smaller contractor to handle the job and purchase the materials for them, also probably sub out items they are not good at like landscaping and concrete repair.
