Lately, I have been a little shocked at some of the pricing I ave been getting from licensed and insured contractors to do work.

We defianetly will, the biggest shock to me recently is just how much of a credit based world we live in.

I am sure its shocking to find out that your basement wall just had been crushed.

Of course, I realize that's different.However, I do live in the South plus there is a covered front porch, so it is fairly pleasant outside most of the year.

I'm shocked!!!!!!!!!!!

Lessons learned...1) Be more creative in looking for deals.2) Act fast... the wholesaler said he was shocked that I actually made everything happen in 24 hours.3) Keep moving... circumstances are in constant change.

The only piece of advise I can offer is don't get sticker shock (the old investor form of analysis paralysis).

I believe you will be in for sticker shock when you get here .

I never cease to be SHOCKED how little commercial loan officers know about residential loans and guidelines and vice versa.Lastly I would say it seems from even just the little they have commented @Jon Holdman and @Justin Whitfield are also very knowledgeable and may want to add more now that I think we have uncovered the confusion.

I would be shocked to meet someone who would turn down a profitable deal just because you have a logo and some business cards.
