We have an A-list of buyers that is several thousand people deep and it took years to build.Best of luck...

I know you don't want to lose the rest of May's rent, but if you don't get this relationship under control right now, this behavior is just going to continue.Take a deep breath.  

I'm checking to see if anyone has thoughts on what areas in DFW will go up in value like we've seen happen with Knox/Henderson, the Bishop Arts District (Oak Cliff), Deep Ellum, and other areas. 

Zach F. kinda touched on it, but wanted to dive in a little more.

My opening statement is: I have finally walked the plank, closed a HUD foreclosure a on December 9th, and have been wading deep into this project. 

These landlords are extremely motivated to SELL FAST and for a deep deep discount. 

Once you've worked with your contractor long enough and have seen his estimates play out  - you will have a better idea of how close he is to the mark - many contractors will low ball you just to get the job - then once he is knee deep in it - more expenses suddenly rear their ugly head ...this happens to all contractors - but the good ones will have accounted for the unknowns up front and should come in close to his bid unless something major has been discovered -  best of luck to you - let me know if I can connect you with anyone

Everything from deep dives into the economics of flipping to creative financing and getting started with none of your own money.Also, dig around this forum.

I've actually dug pretty deep into some bigger developers projects.

Dive in!
