Earlier this summer we picked-up 2x5gal pails left over from refinishing a school gymnasium at about 50 cents on the dollar.

Hot summers, freezing winters, always windy.3.

At the beginning of this past summer in 2013, I was promoted to a sales job from porter at the car dealership I work at.

Sales have slowed down markedly however since about mid summer so there may be opportunities coming up.

The other is dealing with my primary residence, purchased summer '08, owe $289k and latest zillow is $265k estimate, it's definitely moving in the right direction but will be awhile until I'm in equity in it.

We finished the 4th one in the Summer of 07.

In our last reno this summer, we painted, refinished floors and then installed the baseboard (which was painted before installation and touched-up after it was installed).

This summer I finally kicked myself in the rear and decided to just get started, knowing I'll make some mistakes along the way.

Surprise costs will come up, be ready.Another tip, try to construct your leases so that they expire during the spring and summer.

After successfully rehabbing two high-end SFR rentals, my husband and I decided to do our first flip this summer.
