So I'd be looking at over 3k plus the price of a plumber to set them up for install.

@ David A A couple of things that may need attention, I know they did in my part of Florida. 1) Permits: We contracted with a "reputable" architect for a hair salon family business.

If anyone is looking for a IRA servicer that is reputable, competent and easy to work with, I would recommend First Trust of Onaga (www.ftconaga.com).

My first 8-10 deals I intend to spend A LOT of time reviewing possible property's to ensure that I'm doing everything correct and so I can begin to grow the best reputation possible with my investors.

I think that generating my reputation through wholesaling will set me up for rehab flipping down the road.

My goal is to build a track record/reputation so A: deals come in quicker and more consistently, and B: It exposes me to great opportunities to fix and flip on the sideline of the wholesale business.

I tried VERY hard to close any option as that's your reputation on the line. 2.

They are mostly illegal, so instead of putting a fake number and damaging your reputation and credibility, don't use them.

It's probably only a matter of time before things get much more serious and I can't imagine you would enjoy your hard-earned reputation being commingled with his.

Some times it is challenging, but overall not a problem as over time we have found good handymen, AC, plumbers, etc.
