You then can choose from tons of applicants to try and find the best one.

I am looking to hire a crew of guys to paint a house I bought and one of the contractors offered to for me to pay time and materials. 

Which would you choose?

Zillow has the muscle to throw some big punches, should they choose to.

You just have to pick and choose a few methods based on your personality and try them out.

High grass, boarded windows, peeling paint, no electrical meter.

I actually downloaded ALL of the podcasts from BP Show #1 - current and have been making my way through them while taking notes.My background is in sales, I am a sales rep for Behr Paint servicing New Mexico, so if you have any paint question please feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer your question.That's all I have for now, thanks for having me and I look forward to being around for a long time!

In return ask if you can some how help fill the dumpster, paint, what ever it takes to help and exchange labor for knowledge.

Early on, I would buy "lipstick" flips, those only requiring carpet and paint. 

For example, you buy the place and the tenant could claim the Seller allowed them to paint the walls black or that their security deposit was twice what the Seller claimed.
