Nowadays it is more like around 15 or so a year, because we have to pick the ones really low and in stable areas in order to flip them quickly.Do your homework and it will pay back fast.

Nowadays, water run about $100/month per apartment, and even here, for $50K it's not worth it, particularly if I have no problems to begin with.On the other hand, for a side by side duplex, the cost of re doing the plumbing may be minimal.I looked into separating gas charges for a co-worker, who rents an apartment, and the landlord splits the monthly $30.00 cooking gas bill with him.

Its interesting to note though that gas prices are very low nowadays.

Ask for a copy of his license, 2. ask for his acord insurance copy and name you as insured, 3. sign a contract with the company name, for newbies, only sign contract when the signing party is the actual name whrn you pull their license info (usually from your contractors board website) 4. tap your shoulder for a good job.If you hire a GC, it is their job to pull sub permits, that's why it is called "General Contractor".I often encounter those good workers nowadays that want to be on my network, some tile guy asked me if I could hire him per contract, i asked if he was license, same reply as yours "i work with a guy who has a license", i told him give to give me the above, he then said can he work for me per hour. lol.

Saying that here’s a question..You said you had to learn to be handy, what would you say is the best way to learn that nowadays?

Those run down homes sometimes get bought up in threes and beautiful grand homes erected across three lots.

We do not eat out or eat packaged/processed food, we are working on downsizing our house, and unfortunately insurance is a requirement for way too many things nowadays.
