He is a retired contractor with a little investment money - and I am a general contractor (remodeling) and have the marketing experience, crew, equipment, warehouse, contacts, etc.

I have a countertop company, Cali Stone. our specialty is doing custom granite countertops, but we also work with Property Management Companies and we also do apartment remodels as well. for the past few years ive been reading books related to real estate/investing, also been coming here and i've learned a lot.

Something for you to check on is I did a closing with Wells Fargo and they added 20% to the remodel estimate.

I HAVE DONT NUMEROUS REMODELING JOBS FOR INVESTORS BUT NEVER INVESTED IN PROPERTY MYSELF.

So we'll hit the ground running and start the remodeling once we get the keys :mrgreen: Once done, hopefully it will rent quickly.

We've only had a couple sites broken into after the remodel.

Keeping wood piles away from your foundation and any wood siding etc from direct contact to soil will help.My primary residence had been neglected for years when I bought it with a leaking back addition and when I tore in for remodeling, the carpenter ants had destroyed everything.

I'd say the best piece of advise i can give anyone is to do research of various aspect of construction/remodeling, so you know the terms and lingo.

I have some experience in remodeling and use a number of plumbing, electrical and construction materials sources to find what I need.
