McCaskey- if this is your biggest problem, you're running a very tight ship.

Had the same thing happen on one of my rehabs so I went online and ordered a system with expedited shipping.

Again, my goal is to be well positioned to jump ship from my W-2 in about 5 years....not save $7,000 in closing costs from a refi.  

If so then even putting new meters in the tenants will jump ship to another property unless you lower rent or they cannot qualify elsewhere.If you just have an old building for the area and other landlords have already converted awhile ago to separate meters then you should be fine.

I manage the production, shipping/receiving, and QA departments.Like most of the investors on the podcast, I got interested in real estate from reading Rich Dad Poor Dad.

It tells you if that department is profitable or if you should change that to something else and ship out the laundry to have it done.

The ideal partner ship is 50/50 (1 guy puts in money other guy does all the work).

I want to be able to paint a clear picture for the seller (he has many other properties that he will be unloading in the future and I want to build a good relation ship with him)Best of luck to you Lizina!

Your ship has come in and will be docking in Nigeria 

when your hide you hand, the im a contractor from bklyn ny (still here) and im thinking on starting rehabbing and flipping in south florida. its all dried up nyc. i cant tell you how many times people here will haggle with me on price using poor mouthing.... then they are having material shipped from Switzerland for me to install... not always from there but u get the gist.it creates problems for me as i have to change order them rather than give them a price for everything prior. all to save a buck and make a buck...but it ends up costing them more later. where would be a good place to looking for property, around 500k?..
