Don't assume that your local retail home improvement store is the place to go for all of your needs- remember, every dollar spent in excess is a dollar lost.Make sure that your figures work out, and give yourself some financial room for the unexpected expenses that almost always come up when dealing with rehabs.Establish a good business relationship with wholesalers in your area.

Today I went and looked at a Hud home the weird thing is its a four bed room home split into three units It looks like a regular house but has two doors on the right side there is also a small building on the property I talked to the realtor thats in charge of the house and he said that its a fourplex :shock: and that he had never seen anything like it before.

Some brokers charge nothing but offer no support staff.

GET THIS: One of the charges was for $165 to remove vines from a sidewalk. 2 - Less important - they have been terrible at finding tenants for my properties.

Especially cause they don't HAVE to share their RE info for free...they could be charging us a monthly fee and we would pay it cause it is WAY less than coaching!!!!!

What happens if you have unexpected expenses and have to borrow, short term-high interest rate, because that money is tied up?

They made those fees in addition to the fees they charge the lenders to buy the lead.

Would this be the norm and if so, what would an appraiser and contractor customarily charge for such as service?

I'm renting my dad's place and they (HOA) are trying to charge me double maintenance fees.
