Fixer Upper with Chip and Joanna Gaines, etc.?

@David T.Our "parked" funds are averaging around 6.25% at the moment (down from ~7% when I was taking the time to sell a few options) using a  mixture of ETFs and a couple of stable blue chip stocks w/ 5+% dividends.

Even when you think you are being careful, things will get dropped, and those things will break or chip the tile.

It can be anywhere but bigger problems for you are peeling chipping paint and painted doors and windows.

The first remodels I was quite involved in myself and found some really good people for the different tasks: Mark Aschoff (Mark's Contracting LLC) does outstanding roofing work at a really good price, Alex Olmos did a great job with flooring and Fagen Tree and Chips were very nice people to work with for some branch/tree cleanups.

And with the Roddy Roundup one of the vendors supplies Subway sandwiches, chips and cookies...so if you register in advance, you are just paying for your dinner @ $5 - so it's a wash!  

Everyone has an opinion but that is where I am placing my chips for the moment.

I think I'm incrementally getting better at it and I have an out of state strategy in place that should help me reach my goals, but I know I can improve on this a lot and so I keep chipping away at it.

I agree with Michael Henry, if you play with small chips you can only make small profits. 

Unfortunately, I have seen many friends and other investors have to dig out of a hole because they stayed too long.I am currently taking some chips off the table by selling one of three large apartment buildings I have in the Dallas area and exchanging the payment of a hefty amount of tax In order to receive a hefty amount of safety and security.Good luck on your decision and you are lucky to have one....
