(Danny Wells Masonry, Redemption Roofing, Wood-n-Deed) We also had to hire a lawyer when Beam refused to refund any of our money or fix their damage.

They provide premium homes with management as well. 

As far as carpet, I'd like to remove it and put in laminate wood flooring.

Over-funded policies are funded over five years, but the cash value of the first premium (~85%) is available immediately as collateral.

If you enter into any contract without the intent to perform or ability to do so, your contract is tarnished, it's voidable, and then your game is to sell this voidable contract at a premium, kind of like selling a car with a rolled back odometer. 

From what I've seen, they purchase pretty high, do minimal fixes, and relist for a small premium.  

With an FHA the loan cost will be higher along with mortgage insurance premium which can eat into your monthly cash flow is but I believe putting as little money down as possible to get in on a deal would be the most beneficial to you!.

We ell them sure but you have to pay a premium vs what we are owed.

The only reason to consider doing work yourself is if local contractors are afraid you will nit-pick the work they do, so they charge a premium to cover the expected labor.You probably don't have workers compensation insurance.

Good tenants are worth a premium.
