My husband, Joe, and I listened to a podcast this week with Gene Guarino and was very impressed with his Residential Assisted Living model. 

If they truly want to be rid of the house then they would sell the house "for what they owe" and you'd take over paying their mortgage as your business model of renting the house up.,  Make no promiss to have the house sold buy... a date.Back story re whyt you do not want to do sandwitch lease option; buy on a lease and optoin and sell on a lease and optoin

I have one appliance tech that only installs OEM parts, and another that'll installed refurbished since you just can't get OEM parts for a lot of older models.

The end destination not the freeway that gets you there.Once you know the goal and the strategy, the numbers will dictate if you the deal aligns with your business model and strategy.

The business model that gets that right will do very well in the near future, and I hope I work for them.

I passed by homedepot the other day to get an idea of how much they would charge for a full bathroom and kitchen renovation using floor models...they mentioned prices that looked quite expensive to me and recommended me not to take any of their off the shelf cabinets for an apartment I would rent as they would tear off after 1 year...does anyone has any experience using Homedepot?
