My name is Tracey Stegemoller and I'm currently in the process (setting up business name, bank account, cpa, business cards, website, etc.) of getting started in the Real Estate Investing/House Flipping business.

I currently don't even have a credit card, so I assume I'll need to get one to add to my credit score.

All of my student loans are paid off, and I've had a credit card since I was 18 that I've always paid off on time.

If they demand to be exclusive to do a contract make them put up huge non-refundable option money that you get TODAY but will be applied off the purchase price at closing.Really you need a real estate attorney to draft the proper forms.

Monty Corbett -First, make sure you have all the proper legal documents.

.- Get financial statements that would illustrate proper net worth and/or income.- Create a checklist of questions that would help qualify the investor and have them sign the form.- Have the investor's CPA or lawyer write a letter attesting to the fact that they are accredited.Obviously the tax returns are the best route to go.

If it is written properly it will be in there and you will have your answer.

Clearly, there should be value in adding this feature, and doing so properly and with a permit, so that it's reflected in the title, and i'm trying to gage how much would be acceptable to spend on central air.I've been quoted between $7200 and $16K for a 3Ton complete system, and while i don't always go with the lowest bid, i'm tempted to do so this time since i treat air as a "commodity" and not "finishings" and am at the tail and of a renovation.

Better get down on one knee and do it the proper way!

I also am focusing on paying off my one high interest debt - a Home Depot credit card.
