Luke Texidor That is a bold and unnecessary move, when you did an interview/walk the contractor, you should have a paper that will spell out what you want done, per room or per line item or both, that way, you will simply have him sign it and incorporate it to the contract.

They will be able to work with you on both the engineering side and surveyor side and help avoid any unnecessary costs if possible.

All the fluff is so unnecessary.

Everyone can disagree with me but in my situation, I'm not making a ton of money and doing it as a business and an extra couple hundred dollars for an unnecessary test does make a difference. 

What I can't figure out is if I check "elect" have I now legally elected to do the inspection and therefore legally bound to see it through even if it turns out to be unnecessary and expensive.You know what, it really looks like these documents are just generated by a program in a very catch-all fashion rather than actually written for any one specific region or state's requirements. 

I often break it down into the "five pillars" of protecting your assets.1st pillar is avoiding unnecessary and risky activities (don't drink and drive, insurance generally won’t cover your poor decisions) and take good care of your investments - these simple steps will help you prevent lawsuits before they even occur.2nd pillar is a good insurance policy as that cover the majority of your exposure.

I made a conscience decision to prepare all my food once I saw how much unnecessary money I was spending buying out.

I'm going with the assumption that you've gotten some type of real estate training -- either through books, tagging along with another investor, or working with a real estate coach -- and that you've developed a solid plan of action and are seeing substantial and consistent positive MONTHLY cashflow.Your personal finances can be a major inhibitor to investing full time because too many investors are saddled with unnecessary credit card and other personal debt.I'd recommend you eliminate as much debt as possible -- credit cards, computer loans, furniture loans, etc., -- and that you have a well-established reserve of readily accessible cash for emergencies.If you have a family, it would be nice if you have a working spouse who ideally has health insurance to help offset your living expenses as well as provide for the bulk of your healthcare needs.

I think it would cause them to much unnecessary problems and issues for them with the end not justifying the means.......I think they would much rather sell even at a loss and get these toxic assets off their books.Who knows though with the landscape changing so much anything is possible..regards,Chris

Unnecessary IMO
