Once you get that first one under your belt, it gives you a ton of confidence to go out there and get more now that you know how the process works from A-to-Z.

Imagine, you're meeting with a sheetrock contractor on site and he says it's gonna cost x for the job, and you whistle and exhale and sigh and then say...well that seems like you'll be charging me y per installed board and I know the /board installation rate is closer to z and I have estimated abc number of boards... well it adds a level of professionalism and confidence that can sometimes make the difference between success and failure. 

Any input is appreciated.Thank you,Rob Z

Hey Jon Z, noticed you were from Rahway, and I wanted to ask what it is that you use since you are no longer using the YL?

It hasn't been e-z, scary at first not knowing anything, but learning to network with others and attending local RE meetings has helped me in different ways.

@Theo Z. 

You'll likely get quotes that are all over the map with some vendors telling you it NEEDS X, Y and Z, while others tell you it only needs X.I had a cracked foundation in a Detroit property and got quotes from $5k up to $30k with some saying that the entire wall needed to be replaced and others saying that it simply needed drainage and reinforcement.

It has the trendy 19th-century architecture, proximity to the downtown and uptown major employment centers, the arts crowd has moved in, and a couple major apartment redevelopments are full of white-collar Millennial and Gen Z renters paying a premium for loft apartments.
