If i get approved for a Maryland Mortgage Program loan that covers 20% of my down payment, will i still have to pay for a private mortgage insurance? 

Your original "seed money" remains in Module #2, and continues to generate profits for Module #3.Module #3:  Us profits from Module #2 to invest in cash flow properties of choice.Notice, that the freed up NLD funds from Module #1, are truly free, since Module #1 covers all debt associated with it.  

They may cover most of your rehab costs, and with you doing the work yourself.

Or do you mark it up enough so that it covers those fees plus your "wholesale fees".I would imagine putting it on the mls would always attract more traffic, especially when it's move in ready and priced right.

Also, do not accept money directly from her to cover the daily charge, that could be seen as collecting partial rent, which will delay the eviction process.

I do agree that for all parties a fixed price estimate is best (you need to know how to estimate properly).To be successful as a GC, things like getting a large deposit, making sure you are always staying ahead on billing and are spending clients money and not your own, marking up all costs at least 20% to cover OH&P, billing appropriately for change orders, not to mention staying up to date on latest building methods and continuing education, are the minimum requirements to last in this business.Of course you have to keep construction costs as low as possible when you are rehabbing a real estate project.  

I live in Los Angeles, and there was one guy from all of Orange and Los Angeles counties and his brother covered Ventura county.

I've been couch surfing (read: bumming) the last year when I am back in the states, and I am incredibly grateful to my kind friends and family, but I can't tell you how old this is getting for all involved.So I decided to settle a bit for now, and find a reasonable home to live in that allows me to easily cover the mortgage, and at the same time continue to save more, and look for another property to buy and hold.

I carefully go through the resumes and conduct a phone screen with qualified people.

To cover my very small 36 SQFT of counter space I'm looking at $200~ in material to install myself.Does anybody have any experience with this stuff?
