I've come across (what appears to be) a deal.

I agree, good contractors are hard to find, but it appears this guy has stepped out of his expertise.

I would think you could get it at $1/ft there, but I wouldn't mind paying a few cents more per foot for someone good.As J Scott points out, the rolled laminate is much less to purchase, and much easier to install (so very cheap overall). some of the newer ones look good too, but can't attest to their durability..

Nope, that appears to be a pretty clear cut case of fraud unless he fully disclosed everything to the lenders.

@Sandy Paris As long as you learn how to apply the general rules and it makes the number easier for you to understand, then it can be a great idea!

It is so much easier to sell a single detached home compared to an apartment complex.

Yeah - Sorry guys . . . we use a company to protect our site from outside attacks called CloudFlare and it appears that they were having some kind of problem a short bit ago.

I would go with the 0 interest option and sleep easier at night.

It's definitely easier to work with the seller directly, however in cases where the leads come in through a realtor, I wasn't sure if we could assign the contract at all.

I am going to kind of disagree with what is being said hereIf I were you I wouldn't even consider getting a real estate license because having a real estate license doesn't make getting real estate deal any easier, it will cost you money and your liability goes way up compared to being a regular investor.You don't need to learn anything more!
