We spent $35k on our rehab and replaced the hvac, flooring, fixed plumbing leaks etc. but we didn't touch the roof (it is about halfway through its' lifespan) so while I feel it is fair for us to offer to negotiate on that, are we conceding too much by offering to negotiate repairs?

Hi Aryelle, I agree with the bank that you need to know if it is major (i.e. roof, plumbing) or minor (cosmetic) repairs, before you do anything.

Currently updating the plumbing in kitchen & bath.

I have some construction experience though most of it is related to plumbing in high rises and pipefitting in natural gas and oil refineries.

Brett Snodgrass I am currently redoing all the plumbing.

Go to Home Depot or Lowes 5:30 - 6 AM - you will find every tradesman you need - all you have to do is ask questions - you find them there because this is where the get material for their jobs - they look like workman - drive pickup trucks and are busy load drywall, 2x4's and plumbing stuff in their vehicles. 

Looking for contacts on who I can work with to put some permit plans together for a full 1000 sq ft basement remodel, only 500 sf of which is currently permitted (re-work ducts, electrical, minor plumbing for bathroom alteration, finishes, egress window etc...)  

Hoping no electrical or plumbing work but we wont find out until the walls are opened.Regards,Kevin

I'm looking for someone who can help me start to figure out an estimate for a full gut, electrical, plumbing, roof, siding, and landscaping for 3,700 sqft. in Tacoma, and a 1,900 sqft. in Beacon Hill.I don't have any experience with fix-flip, would desperately like to talk to a contractor as part of my education to help me determine if I've even found an opportunity.

Waiting to show means I take a big hit at turnover time, usually two months vacancy, but this works best for me because A) I don't have a lot of debt so I'm not desperate for the money and B) It gives us time to do a thorough job turning the unit over, meaning plumbing repairs, improvements, general maintenance and the most important thing C) Plenty of time to find a good tenant thorough screening of new applicants.I think your timeline is fine, but I think it could be done faster if that's what you're really looking for.
