Painting and flooring are super easy.

Remember, in this model, you are planning on holding on to these properties as rentals so pay now in quality, or pay later in headaches and repair costs.

hi @Jaycee,  the top floor(the one you see on the listing 8915 E Wes Pl Tucson), is essentially a ground floor as far as entering and exiting the home as the bottom floor(finished basement etc) is underneath it built into the other side of the foothill the house is sitting on.  

If you plan on buying additional property, you should indeed go on more calls to assess and meet the repair person so that you understand the problems as they arise.  

Short term it is difficult to make the numbers work, the cost of new construction and the time it takes to zone-plan-build are usually the main reasons why private investors stay clear.

I would say to expect a floor rate of 6-6.50%

So, if $100/sq.ft is the starting point, they might use $35-50 for the adjustment for the ground floor.

Purchase price: $110,000 Cash invested: $45,000 Recently purchased my first house to use as a primary residence, currently I am renovating the kitchen and adding a full bathroom to the first floor.

I recently watched a video where Troy Kearns mentioned he could source a high-quality quartz slab for $100 from China, which got me thinking about exploring similar options.Has anyone here ever imported materials like hardwood floors, countertops, or tiles from China for a project?

Insurance typically covers only the directly damaged area, not undamaged flooring, even if it's continuous.
