Rental property doesn't make you rich over night, rental investing is like a crock pot while flipping is like the deep fryer.

I knew deep inside this smelled a bit too fishy.

The other tool of choice I would try before what you have is a roofing spade with the zigzag edge as long as it didnt scratch too deeply...It has a fulcrum built in to pry over and will pull even the tough nails with its 5 foot 'd' handleNo matter what you use remember your going to have to 'fill' all the holes and re sand pretty deep just to get back to where it used to be. 

Nothing deep, nothing confusing, nothing technical. 

This property is a deep water home overlooking a marina and  may become our primary residence.All renovations are cosmetic and I intend to do most work myself. 

I finally stumbled across my first deal in Rahwah, NJ and I am slightly nervous, yet confident that with the help of my BP family and the knowledge embedded deep into my soul from reading and listening to the podcasts, I can make this a successful first deal.  

I started using TT 15 years ago when my talented EA,  who had previously gotten me out of a deep IRS jam, filed returns with errors and little meaningful advice.  

I could possibly help you find someone and have a few contacts with deep pockets. 

I use a nice deep color on the walls, bright white on the trim including the baseboards and when I am done the look just knock your eyes out!

More equity is favorable,   larger housing is preferred (I would say houses with a minimum of 20 feet wide  x45 feet deep is preferable for fix/flip.
