(we are past inspection & appraisal - just waiting on loan to close)- There wont be any photos of updated carpet, kitchen cabinets and countertops- I can't show the property in person considering I dont have the keys to proeprty yet- Would be gathering leads for people of who are intersted in hopes of getting it rented out faster If I post the property now, I could probably have a tenant lined up to move in August 1st.

All I am saying is with any investment, do your homework and if something sounds too good to be true....If anyone wants to pm me with questions or for more insight into our area or the section 8 program (which these companies seem to be heavily advertising with) and some of the changes the program has seen locally in the last year, feel free to reach out. 

Your thought process on the contractor providing quotes to possibly "win" a job may seem correct on surface level as a lot of businesses offer "free-mium" products - but ultimately time is money, especially in real estate where good contractors are in high demand and could better spend their time finishing a project before accepting the next one. 

Yes, feel free and reach out to me, and let's connect and go over some options and region-specific analytics to break down the market for you. 

If you need a spreadsheet to calculate your hours please let me know, I have one that we give to our clients I'm happy to share for free

Feel free to reach out to me directly if you have any other questions/just want to discuss!

Procrastination can lead to misunderstandings, increased legal costs, and the potential for legal disputes if negotiations deteriorate.

Are flat-fee MLS sites or otherwise free listing sites like Craigslist the only options?

Feel free to message me if you have any more questions. 

And that leads me to where I am at now, currently gutting and setting up a plan to renovate the building.
