Go home depot guys, what could never go wrong.

So now I'm calling all the QuickenLoans and Loan Depot's of country and no one will touch it because: A) Its not my primary residence B) I haven't owned it for a year C) The private lender isn't reporting the monthly payments to a credit bureau so I don't have a verifiable proof of payment D) Been doing AirBnB, so no lease (if I wanted to get 2nd home or rental property financing)Solutions I'm aware of: 1) Most loan officers have suggested I call a local credit union, which I have done> The credit unions are concerned because it's not my primary and I don't have  lease in place with proof of payments via bank statements.

And make sure you get tickets to a game or two at Fenway and the Garden (even though it's not the ORIGINAL Garden), watch the marathon and see the fireworks from along the Charles on 4th of July.

There is one set of stairs, which is also carpeted.Home Depot and Lowe's both gave me estimates of a whopping $10,000, and a local floor guy gave me an $8,000 estimate. 

We used a garden hose and broom to get the slab cleaned up.

You'll need several on your list because there will be times when your favorite contractor is on another job and you'll have to use another one that's on your list and available when you need them.I don't know about your area but if you're really in need survey the Home Depot parking lot for the vans and trucks with signs on them marked Contractor, Home Remodeling, etc.. 

For operators: Merrill Gardens appears to have a community in Woodstock, GA I haven't worked with them but you could reach out.

Home Depot or equipment rental places rent them as well. 

Getting a referral from a fellow investor is OK, however that contractor may be good for the referee, but could be not so good for someone else.Contractors are special individuals - they too are chasing the buck and trying to get the best deal possible.You may want to write specifications  of what you want done - once you know what you want you can better compare bids from workman.I have found that meeting real people with real tools at a time they are buying supplies and materials at Home Depot 5:30 - 6 am picking up stuff to do their daily work is sometimes an effective way to find the craftsman you are looking for at a price that will serve you well.Getting referrals is OK - but how do you know that they didn't over-charge the person who is referring you to them?

It has a college-like feel to it with restaurants and a nightlife- I would check out Peddler's Daughter, Martha's Exchange, or even The Garden on a Saturday night.
