I'm not out here trying to screw Uncle Sam, but definitely want to see if anyone has dealt with this issue and get some perspective. 

Your going to screw around lose your good tenant .

(also, every person I have met that got screwed also was doing things "cheap")*final note- I pay for what I want done.

Hes probably not trying to screw you but Just Make sure they are actually worth 35k and do comps and look up the county assessors figures too .i would personally not buy a 35k house and only get 6-800 but my market is different .

It's perfect for little screws like working on electric boxes or cabinet hardware.

Screw heights.

I thought wrong.The door knobs I replaced had screws on the inside part of the door.

After closing fees, Commission, I netted $29,400 which the title company screwed up and told me 31k just the day before...annoyed at this point.I bought another house for $212,000 doing a double close same day, the note is for $208,160 @ 5% interest, not the greatest but with two businesses my credit score has taken a hit significantly.

Could I screw myself over by doing that?
