You may have missed me saying to "be up front" with both sides, it takes a bit more skill than asking a store owner to mark down the demo model everyone has played with or for damaged merchandise.....not much to it.Excluding the Realtors attempting to WH (probably sideways with the concept of "net listings") I haven't seen any WH on here that 1. really knows the basics of RE or 2. if they do, they can't apply the more ethical/legal applications, or 3. they know but don't care.

You should definitely start looking to create a network of vendors who know you and who can handle all the different jobs (plumber, HVAC guy, electrician, refinisher, handyman for specific jobs or demo, painter, roofer, glass vendor, etc.) because these folks can make or break your business.

Most recently, I created a partnership with two others and we together purchased the other half of the duplex I just mentioned and we’re currently in the process of demo.

In aforementioned unit, I have yet to completely demo the subfloor yet— but the house, which was built in 1920, does have a sag to it so I don’t expect to get the floor completely level.
