My tenant has given notice to vacate my property in West Seattle, and I am wondering if I should consider selling.Some things to consider: * My house is old and needs work, and I can't afford it unless I can come up with some creative financing options.

My friend and I were just structuring the plan of how it could work and trying to determine if homeowners would want to pay for our services.

I know this sounds like a robbing Peter to pay Paul situation, but we are in a very interesting situation where the stimulus thing is NOT working, people are not wanting to go back to work, and inflation is on the tipping point of spiraling out of control. because the problem with this raising the minimum wage bit, is that that money is coming out of the bottom line of the business, and the only person who absorbs more cost is the consumer.

My wife told me she has been talking about REI to her co-workers while at work, and it makes me smile a little.

I have a man I can send out that can easily do that work and leave it clean in 8 hours. 

I knew going in that it needed extensive repairs including new roof and foundation work and probably a rewire.

He enjoys most of the work and I do too but, we cannot continue to go at this snail pace and I'm looking for help.  

Remember at this stage your focus needs to be just not on learning how to do the work and doing it but building your knowledge base. 

Also, Ipainted every wall, did a custom closet re-org in the guest bedroom, updated with new lighting and fixtures, knocked a part of the bedroom wall out to extend the master closet (and added addition slider door storage space above the closet), saved a dilapidated pergola, and did a bunch of stone work and landscaping to create a backyard oasis.

Then after finishing the list on excel send 3-5 other offers using regular retail price homes in your area that have been on market between 120-180 days - (yes even if they don’t need work) and minus $110,000 from the listing.
