Tommy Benson,As James Vermillion said: You are an independent contractor.

A portion of the initial payment may be returned to the lessees if the agreement is terminated prior to completion provided that:A.Thirty-days written notice is given.B.Arrangements are made for final readings of utilities and transfer back to the agent after move out.C.All furniture, belongings and refuse are removed from the property.D.The property is returned in the same state of cleanliness and repair as when occupied.E.A forwarding address and the keys are left with Agent.SEVERABILITY: This contract cannot be cancelled independently of the lease.

I would expect somewhere in the $200-300 per fixture range, and if you find a good independent plumber who is accustomed to working with investors, it should be closer to the bottom of that range.Now, when you say "base lines" do you mean the main line (the lateral from the street)?

That's a person who can't pass up taking in another animal and nine will be 19 before long, IMHO.The second one seems OK, if you can independently verify everything.You never get perfect tenants.

The hardest part for me obtaining a loan is being an independent contractor on a commission job.

Occasionally I work as an independent commercial consultant on behalf of potential buyers and have been embarrassed a time or two when the seller told me the listing was off-market or that they were directly linked to the seller as if we'd perform no due diligence prior to purchasing.

I have been invovled in real estate for years. however, as a independent contractor invloved in residential renovations and refurbishing end for other investors.

And while this might not be such a big deal for those of you who have a lot of history and solid, independent knowledge of your business, it's very important for those of you who are just starting out.

Lender viewpoint - Equity is the difference between what an independent appraiser values the property at OR the purchase price; whichever is lower3.

Gladstone, Independence, etc...As we will be sharing a market, I hope you will keep us posted on your progress.Best wishes.
