I've realized that although idaho is long distance for me, it's still a market I'm familiar with and have lots of community in, unlike other areas like arizona and texas.

I have come to the realization that my calculations are not as solid at I once thought.

that's interesting I didn't realize there was an approved contractor list

It has been good to be brought down to reality and realize that there will be many struggles during the process.

Quote from @Don Bessette: First, you need to realize this is a business relationship.

In 2008 when the stocks went down, I realized my 401k was invested with a person I had never met.

The seller offered financing with 20% down, which I used to buy the place.After starting construction and realizing it was going to cost more than expected, I approached a small local bank that knew the property and would offer the rehab financing. 

By providing an overall guide to the area, potential tenants will realize that there are many things to do and places to go, increasing the desirability of the property.This is a summary of the study.

I work in engagement marketing and deal with construction tradesmen all day, usually more custom type tradespersons with a lot of care and concern for their own work, which may glamorize it more than I realize.
