They were without the kitchen for 10-12 hours (well just the main bank of cabinets, sink and added a dishwasher).

He's getting these at a small discount, then taking out all of the old stained-wood doors and trim, the paneling, the old ugly cabinet, and the baths.

I haven't set up a solo-401k yet but will be in the near future so now I am learning as much as I can to make sure I don't step into mud without knowing it.I believe based on your post, I really do need to hire a property manager to handle everything from assessment to executing a solution to whatever problem might creep up.My original thinking was as the 401k fund custodian I can't do any physical work but I would be able to take calls from tenants, as well as going there to assess the issue, for the purpose of determining which pro to call in to resolve the issue.However I also know while assessing the issue often time I might end up having to do physical work - such as reaching inside the cabinet to turn off the water valve, or flush the toilet to see what's happening, or opening and closing a window, or even turning on or turning off a light, those are technically all physical work right?

You'll see the economics of RE, understand the conveyances of RE, what rights are held, how financing is accomplished, how to value properties and markets and different uses of properties as well as your state laws and local customs.

Mine is a Wordpress theme (or template, whatever they are called) but highly customized.

A dishwasher will cost about the same as a cabinet that would be in its place.

For my auction.com purchase they used some half-baked closing firm out of Pittsburgh with real crummy customer service.

While it's definitely possible to be successful as a part-time agent, my opinion is that most agents don't understand how hard it is to generate a pipeline of customers.

Worst part was that he had gotten himself a roommate (without my permission) whose employment (as he described it; I'm not kidding) was "marketing".As my son and I were clearing out the house after the eviction, four of his "customers" stopped by to pick up their supplies which involved little packets of white powder (we found some in the kitchen cabinet that "TJ" over looked).

I have mine customized the way I want it, and I know how to do stuff in my MLS that the average Realtor probably never thought about.
