If you do the work yourself you’d be shocked to see just what little the materials cost . something you’d get a 7000$ bill for could cost as little as $1200 if you do it with a few friends over the weekend .

It's a win-win situation for both you and the tenants.This will include some tough love...again, if I'm reading this correctly, you're planning on explaining to your new black tenants that their being broke is a choice they've made.

Tough market finding deals, I’m gonna see what the wholesale world has to offer.

Labor costs are rising and materials are significantly more expensive than even a few years ago.

We live in a a tough but great city, so it's good to see people looking out for one another.

I picked up all the materials so he won’t be responsible for getting materials and marking them up 15%.

The Kenosha market is on fire right now and deals are tough to come by.
