Really just carpet/paint, and then the bath and kitchens (so around 20k also).Now here's where I need some help.

the tip earner job seems to be the antithesis of a white collar job, where as every part of income is tracked and reported.

Here are a few suggestions…***Tip alert***Let’s say that you have $2000 at your disposal and you have either online access or there is a Bank of American and a CB&T banks in your town.

I would say RE investing was always a plan(dream) of mine even as a kid i was on jobs with my dad he was a painter/carpenter and would let me help paint or hammer around because i loved the job site.

Just spoke to [wholesaler] adv has 2 estimates for repairs. 1 for $6k [basic paint, carpet] the other for $15k [paint carpet, landscape, new drywall, etc.]Will make my own assessment on Monday.

New or not, you will have vacancies to deal with, property management (placing ads, screening tenants, doing evictions), taxes, insurance, and make ready costs (paint and carpet cleaning or replacemnet between tenannts.)

Great post mnmoney - I took your tips down for when I get my first callback :-)Please let us know how it goes 4EverLearning.steph

If so can you add any tips that might save me time and money when setting up these types of deals.

So I saw this property that looked like it just needed some new paint and clean carpet.

Did some paint and floor work.
