books, plants, and weird things to pick up and look at (we have a skull collection in one unit, and a crystal collection in another).I have edited and hung up those national parks posters that I'm sure you've seen before.

This area is showing lot of growth in terms of companies setting up manufacturing locations like Toyota battery plant, Boom Jet manufacturing to name a few. 

@Michael Plante.

We also have a relationship with a plant here in Rocky Mount where we buy them directly from the faculty.  

Exxon and Chevron are building plants here so it should be good for a couple years. 

@Kyle Plants This would be a great strategy.

On a simple Fix & Flip this might look like:Draw 1 - 20% paid at Demo/Haul OffDraw 2 - 20% paid at Frame/Rough In (plumbing, electrical, mechanical)Draw 3 - 20% paid at Drywall - tape, texture, and paint (to include ceilings)Draw 4 - 20% paid at Cabinet/Countertop install, Fixture install (lights, sinks, faucets)Draw 5 - 20% paid at Flooring and Close Out/Punch acceptanceYou might only do (3) Draw’s to reduce the paperwork on a short timeline project. 

Hi,I recently bought a new mobile home park, my CPA tells me that the non-land portion (road, pipes, water plant, good will) should be depreciated over 28 year. 

One unexpected thing that's popped up in my last 3 flips is having to texture some or all of the interior.  

1) Bought and managed my own new construction home project2) Negotiated the price of the house from $257,000 to $250,000, rearranged the interior of the home and selected the color scheme for the exterior of the house3) Shopped around for custom-made kitchen cabinets, carpet, hardwood floors, tiles, light fixtures, and appliances4) Installed the hardwood floors, tiles and bathtub surroundings, and painted the whole house all within a week5) Finished a room in a basement from scratch – framed it, sheetrock, door installation, walk-in closet, electrical, wall texture, painted, and hired the right people to finish the carpet and window seal installation - Total cost about $23006) Sold the house 22 months later for $285,000 and made a net profit of approximately $35,000.00 after escrow reimbursement, cashflow from rental income, interest on property tax return and amortization.Great experience and good return on my $13,000 initial investment.
