Do this—— Contract for sale for 12 months—- get a 10-15k credit line at Home Depot (pay off in 60 days!)

Admin work, social media, online stuff, phone calls, pick up supplies from Home Depot, etc. 

@David M.I would strongly suggest taking some random listing or even the home you live in, and calculate the figures for what it would cost to remodel it like you plan to do for your flips.What I mean is calculate the square footage and go down to home depot and actually run the numbers on how much paint you'd need, flooring, cabinetry, etc.

I know this isn’t exactly what you’re asking about, but I had a prospect in Philly who said their employer, Home Depot, would cover the security deposit.

They also have many if not all of the features that QBO has to offer including bank feeds (will automatically import transactions that hit the bank), Rules (you set a rule and when it recognizes an expense from lets say "Home Depot" it will automatically code it to "Repairs & Maintenance", and also has Classes to code transactions to the proper building.  

I know there was a product at Home Depot that was getting rave reviews but I can't remember the name of it now. 

Background: I'm negotiating on a multifamily in Chicago (3/1's on 1st & 2nd floors, 2/1 in garden).

I feel like I’ve stumbled into the secret garden, or an amusement park for adults who buy, sell and trade real estate, services, knowledge and so much more.

Gardener or sewer/ trash for example (sometimes included in property tax bill). or if your property has any common area utilities, like electricity or water that is not individually metered between the units. 

I also have  a garden and chickens so maybe a little fresh produce could sweeten the deal!
