In addition, most rehabbers can't afford a GC if the GC is grossing 500k in contracts, nor will the GC be interested in dirt cheap contracts for a rehabber that does 2-3 a year, they have more bigger fishes to fry.

., Fri. this week - shame we are going to miss the meet up, but are looking forward to even working with more local companies.

I’m an accredited investor and fund my own deals.I’m thinking bbq on Fri afternoon 3, 5 or 6:30 pm.

Example: Full week for July 4th, Labor Day, Memorial Day pricing; Weekend Fri/Sat/Sunday rate; Weekday rate M/T/W/Th; Off season rate- traveling nurses, Holiday off seasons, etc.Occupancy %  Or based on the above, we will do a daily rental chart, versus a flat Occupancy %.Addl revenue items   Net Revenue:Expenses:   Property taxes- find rate for the location   Insurance- We will get a quote   Utilities    -  Water- estimate, show basis    - Sewer- estimate, show basis    - Water- estimate, show basis   Repairs and Maintenance - Let's look at the actual property and make estimates.     

When pricing replacements for these, I discovered that the average price for these two pieces of cheap plastic is about $120.  

how much should it cost to rip out a steel tub, plastic wall surround, and replace it with those plastic, 3/4 piece, acrylic tub and surround I see at Home Depot for about $300?

Just look in the forums for Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing- TUE 8pm, FRI noon.

If you do take it down yourself, make sure the place is well ventilated (open windows), the ceiling is sprayed to minimize dust, you wear a respirator/mask and safety glasses and you block off the rooms that don't have the popcorn ceiling with plastic.

If you want to learn how to do something (landlording and light rehab and property ownership as a house hacker), you take a small bite to start (2 french fries), instead of a large bite (4 french fries). 

It also costs more for the deleading if there is furniture and belongings there as we have to move everything into the center of the room and seal it in plastic before we begin work, adding labor and extra material costs to the job.That being said, I can check the address for you to see if its ever been inspected for lead.
