Really couldn't tell because it looked like a place would look like after a fire, but no smoke or black wood.

Not sure how you can put in 144 ft of fencing for 500, that's 3 per lineal foot and wood fencing is 10 per foot for material almost.

IMO, shorter periods like 20 days indicates a hot area and one that will usually demand a premium price, not many deals to be had there.

The previous owner had just put in a mix of laminate and vinyl wood flooring throughout the units.

Do you suggest us getting the company in for the remediation before work starts, or wait till we demo the house, and remove most all things that won't stay anyway, such as carpets, vinyls, kitchen cabinets, wood paneling?

@Lindsay Wilcox ,You prorate expenses based upon the square footage.The other personal percentage of expenses are not deductible except: Mortgage insurance premiums, mortgage interest and real estate taxes.

Many of those flips are beautifully restored mansions in Boston Edison or Palmer Woods that require large outlays, but there are also the smaller projects in West Village, Corktown and the North End.  

They are paying a premium for quick cash and for the connections that a wholesaler has.

That premium is cheap in comparison to the opportunity costs of trying to self-insure with the same coverage.

I have no doubt you will do very well in your neck of the woods.
