I guess I have to wait to see any preliminary lien.J Scott, -the contract has when I will pay him such as when finish stalling kitchen cabinets, I will pay him such $$-My contract has a end date and small penalty when passing the end date, but he could always use the change of orders to avoid my penalty.

Some stuff I did to get inside and show you care;The grand welcomes,Ceiling fanNew garbage disposalStrip light under cabinetNew light fixture(s)Under sink storage rack screwed in typeUpper shelf in closet or utility areaOther vistsSanded drawer guideCheck cabinet latches and tightenClothes rod holders screwed inTub enclosure adjustments serviceTouch up paintUse wood tone or white marking pen on woodworkTighten door knobsAdd window latches, wax guides3 in 1 on door hingesFix any dripping faucet, shower head-replace the disk in the headSome things I can remember, but there's tons of stuff you can do.Takes less than ten minutes and keeps stuff running smooth.Best of all, it's one on one time and not about the "business" side, always asking where rent is or reminding them to return the trash cart, it's positive LL time, show you care about how well they live in your unit.

t rent it.I ended up getting a skilled tradesman in each house.one guy is an actual house builder that hit bad times during the recession the other guy works with his father installing and remodeling bathrooms and kitchens.both these guys came signed the lease on the first tenant I allowed him to move in with security plus 200.00the difference was the paint and drywall repair and cabinets stained and house cleaned. that I would have paid someone else to do out of pocket which I didnt have.gettting that money allowed me to take care of a 350 plumbing problem and a furnace issue that came upthe other house the guy moved in for security plus 300 for the first two months less than half the actual rent because he is going to do all the painting and the bathroom remodelsome drywall repair and hang ceiling fans.he is working alongside my contractor and my contractor has now gotten a new partner and he has okayed this guy to do the workall things worked out.and now my two houses have some capable people in them who wont come crying everytime there is a minor problemI know this isnt the ideal way to do business but I sort of started out over extended.

That usually would not be a consideration unless it exceeded 10% of the sale price and it appears you are at 15% of the sale price.I will say too that lenders will tend to protect a customer, they will usually see themselves as having more RE knowledge than a borrower, depending on who they are.
