The books explains the steps you need to take extremely well and I have been able to glean a lot from the book! 

Well now everything was sold and closed escrow Sept 7th…and I’m still trying to get my money.

Are those just for labor or also assuming material expense, as well?

If you desire to pay her rent than oh well, but try to tell Well Fargo or the Nisssan dealer its hard to pay your note and see if they let you keep the asset.

These criteria should help you find well-positioned properties and sellers ready to deal.

Hey Colin, I'm based out of Tampa but I do deals in Pensacola as well.

They typically do not add value to the house, so when the buyers are looking at comparables, none of them sit there and say...well every other house sold for $200,000, but my gosh this one has solar panels....let's pay $240,000 for this one.Maybe one day, maybe someplace, but NOT today in NJ I expect.Only way I would even look at solar panels is if it is for your forever house, and you have enough land to install them on the ground, not on the roof....so maybe if you have 1-5 acres or more. 

I would contact your original lender initially, as well as to contact a local mortgage broker.

I hope this finds you well, good luck!

Laminate counter tops look ok, not great, but they show very little wear over time and are cheap to replace when they get damaged.We use agreeable gray paint for the walls in all of our rentals - it wears well, shows dirt less than white.
