@Andrew Johnson  I buy milliions of dollars in materials a year probably in the order of 10 million.. or more.. its such BS that these companies can save HUGE money doing it volume its all a pitch and the folks just don't know what they don't know they are drinking the cool aid.. :)  We get good pricing but you can't take a full 25 to 30k rehab and do it for 10k or 15k.. not possible. unless you simply don't do certain things..

Not many break, the way we install tile floors.The main benefit of tile for us that Pittsburgh's largest industry is currently health care.

I need someone skilled in understanding property investment as well as properly filing taxes for a small healthcare business. 

$400/month is a huge difference, just rip the band aid off already.

Will the possibility of higher corporate taxes, a state income tax, free healthcare, $15 minimum wage and making Florida a sanctuary state impact real estate investing and real estate values in Florida? 

Hello bp, I'm working on a commercial project in NC for a Home Health Care Business seeking a 2nd lien holder position.

I've seen way to many multi family properties just get into that death spiral of a slum lord and horrible tenants and it's just one band aid after another until finally the owner extracts whatever they can and exits.I personally would want to be buying something at a little lower price, perhaps redeveloping, etc.Build value rather than extract value.If the assumptions above mentioned check out and you're happy with those returns I don't see a major hurdle ----  big however though is that you're only outperforming your cost of capital by maybe a percentage point?

They put a band-aide on the house doing as little as possible to improve the property before they resell it for the average comp.
