Until Waco can find a way to add more jobs that aren’t service based (only added 1200 last year), then I expect it’s growth to flat line to decline.

I recently gave up a FT position at my job (I work occasionally as a sub now on the weekends) to focus more on real estate goals. 

With all that said, mine was a total gut job, so if you're just updating stuff, and can get a project completed fairly quickly, the stress shouldn't be as much. 

Right now I have a steady job and my wife and I are expecting our first child in November.

Great job Keith!

Obviously I will need a recent paystub from my current job, and a tax assessment.

Currently, I live in the Boise / Nampa area in Idaho and am in good position to find a new job.

I scope out a property, write an estimate and negotiate with the contractor to make sure that the policyholder gets back into their home and the insurance company does not get screwed over in the process.As real estate investors we are always wondering if I'm paying the right amount for this job.

Hi -How have others handled it when general contractors have increased the cost after the job was complete without an agreement for additional work.

I did all this while working on my associates degree and working a full time job.
