With the work that I have been doing (new construction, addition, full Gut, Renovation) my costs are roughly $170/sqft (depending on finishes, this was a really nice finish look) $120/sqft , $80/sqft, $70/sqft... in that order.

So my grandmother is 80 years old and just stopped working officially last week.She owns a home and stills pays a mortgage on the property and since shes no longer working,does not have the means to pay her mortgage any more.I currently live with her and told her i wouldnt mind paying the full mortgage costs and all the bills that entail in owning a home but i would like to be a co-owner and when she passes the sole owner of the property.The house has been appraised at around 400 thousand and she owes currently about 225 thousand.I wanna know what options i have that maybe i havent heard of or seen,any insight or ideas are greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance,Alex.

I recently left active duty Navy as a Helicopter Pilot and I was able to move directly into full time real estate.

In more astute owner/property manager interactions, the contractor will be TOLD to decrease their price ASAP or the contractor would be terminated for any future consideration.I would most definitely contact the contractor to get the low down as to why it is more, since the property manager won't do it.It sounds like since you are doing a la carte service as opposed to full service, you are getting some bad answers from the property manager. 

For me, I did my first deal at 65%, full recourse on 26 units.

The deed was not transferred, until I paid the contract/house in full, on 9/26/2016.  

Here is my situation, I would love some advice/feedback:I have worked as a full-time real estate broker for several years now and done very well.

I've been investing full time in this market since 07'.

It may be full price but you get it now.  

Except for the zman lolI will fight you!
