I've got about $70 in my wallet, I wonder if they have any housing developments for sale.

Do most people just hit the local Lowes, Home Depot, Ikea for hardware, floors, etc?

My guess is that it will be a virtual slap on the wallet compared to the lives they destroyed with the crimes they commited.

then when you are ready to have them do the work you already know who charges what.Or if you just need to estimate materials because you are going to do the work yourself just make it a habit to look through circulars in the paper and stroll through your local hardware store (lowes, home depot, etc.) every once in a while.

I have no equity (this is the opposite of money in the wallet or bank right?)

I have spent many days fixing leaking toilets, repairing damage done by tenants, and evicting tenants - that's the reality of the rental property business.If I thought it was more profitable and would provide a better lifestyle, I would start a hardware store, a janitorial business, a portable toilet business, etc.

Looks like it could be helpful, but, like so many people, they want to stick their hand in your wallet.

The lower you can get it below an investors criteria, the better your wallet will be.

Just yesterday, I was at the hardware store.

They charge a $40 flat fee to assess the situation, then go to the hardware store, buy supplies, and fix the problem that day charging a per hour rate plus the actual cost of supplies.
