I had an easier time (mentally) flipping because once it was off my name...not my house, not my problem.

I got into real estate (mentally) at 2013, but did not buy our first property until i was 25 (primary residence that became our second rental).

Paul, VA still has the old mentality for rental income on other properties owned. 

I slammed them out in the first few weeks, then could spend the rest of my semester focusing on practice and rehearsals.

J, I have a similar mentality.

So you definitely have shown me and the other members of the BP community a great 'Just do it' mentality.

That mentality is why I don't drive my new car to rental properties.

So we need to make sure that as investors we are listening, not just trying to stick to our timetables.I have worked on numerous remodels in the past and I would say the biggest problems I run into with investors in my area is the " know it all mentality".You want a contractor with a great rep and work ethic?

You have to be in the right area of the South Shore & have a gambler's mentality.  

While legally and logically you may be correct, sometimes the path of least resistance is to throw him a settled amount in exchange for his signature on documents that eliminate his ability to come after you further or to reside there any longer.Ill admit mentally I do have my opinion and I was hoping someone would say something like he has no legal way of claiming payment for work you never agreed on or asked him to do.
