Enjoy your posts.Here's a deal of the day hack. 

Congratulations, @Glenn McCrorey Enjoy the fishing!

Once you decide on a contractor I would keep the fire marshall in the loop as to the scope of work and the timeframe for completion. 

If not, the only requirement may be filing plans with the dept of buildings.One of our contractors does the bulk of his work on contracts with NYC.Mainly work related to bathrooms & tiles/flooring, I will shoot you a PM if I can get any information on this.All the best!

This means you essentially have to save buyers 3x(5k-10k) = $15k to $30k through negotiating, finding the best deals, adding value with your property management or contractor contacts, etc.Lawyers use flat fee, hourly, and contingency pay structures primarily. 

and have solid contractors lined up.

Hey Brian, Generally, a HML org will want to see some diligence around the contractor or get some idea of past work if you're doing the work yourself.

You can visit the property, contractors, etc where as Detroit will either involve longer travel or trusting someone on the ground when you arent physically there.

I’ve hit my financial goal and can quit buying houses. 2025 goal: pay off my last two 401k loans I used to buy a couple houses and enjoy a second home we just bought for ourselves in November.

After months of blood, sweat, and bargaining with contractors who seemed to vanish into thin air, I finally flipped it for $180,000.
