I plan on painting, doing the floors, cleaning, cabinets, landscaping etc.

Properties that are in good shape, but need painting, new carpet, door nobs etc. - nothing major.111sam12

OKAY SO THIS IS WHAT WENT WRONG.omg. i had no idea being part of a condo association is so ridiculously annoying. i thought paying assessments would reduce the burdens as a SFH owner since everything is taken care for you. well #1, they refused to let me move in on a weekend but i work 5 days a week and have no place else to go so i crossed my fingers, UHauled my stuff, and hoped i could move in on the day (sat) after i closed. i moved in but the security guard said i should be expecting a fine for an "unauthorized" move.then me, being a complete newbie, tried doing as much rehabbing as fast and as soon as possible. got a guy to tear out all the old fixtures, vanities, flooring, cabinets, etc... got a painter to come in to paint... guess what?

Most of the I beams on the stairwells have been replaced, and all stairwells were scraped, caulked and painted in April of 2006. 12.

The company you choose to do business with should provide tours that run fairly smoothly and offer no surprises.

Replace wood siding with vinyl and wash and paint the ugly brown brick white.

Don't believe what the sellers say... according to them the only thing you EVER need is "some carpet and a little paint."

most of my fast flips cost less than 8 grand...3 grand for closing cost..and other expense etc...5 grand for new floors, paint, and sweat work..hehedon't be too greedy and do wholesale flips....add a few grand and sell them to beginner investors...easy way to doulbe your money in 6 months!

I like investments where you have some kind of control, including control to buy, control to sell; which you usually have with other investments but also… o control to buy more o control when to sell o control how much to sell o control to not sell but choose some other income-generating method International preconstruction investing is similar to other types of investments in that it requires capital and there is risk and reward and in the growth and income description of investments, it tends to “straddle the fence”, giving you profit-making opportunities from growth and from income.

any contract for sale violates DOSC. many people might tell you not to worry, just make the payments on time blah blah blah, but if the loans have a DOSC, be careful with any contracts for purchase/sale, as a lender can accelerate the loan if they choose to do so.
