We have treated twice with chemical treatments and the tenants have been steaming, drying and vacuuming constantly.

Now experience/luck has shown that treating tenants with respect but be firm with your lease leads to less turnover.

And for some reason many conventional lenders don’t treat Flip income as real money (don’t ask cause I’ve never been able to figure this out - it’s green, I can buy a Diet Coke with it, its money!).

Until you bring enough business to a good contractor and treat them well and build a strong relationship with them you will have to pay them at first for their quality estimate and time.

I didn't want anyone else to experience that and ever since then I wanted to develop myself, grow my wealth and real estate knowledge so I could do it the RIGHT way treating people with respect and fairness. 

I'm guessing its related to prior business that was never incorporated and treated as sole proprietorship that didn't collect sales tax.

After MUCH prayer, conversations with my wife, and advice from men I respected the decision was made that I would finally treat my real estate like a business instead of a side hobby. 

Definitely weigh your options.....Treat them like a funding partner if you do......give em a preferred return on their money......and then split the profits if you do it that way....

So, I would treat the deal as if the seller is striving in every way possible to rip me off, and I would verify EVERYTHING; I would go to city and check on all building permits vs what there, rental licensing, zoning, I mean literally everything I would leave nothing to chance what so ever. 

@Joey Bricio you should treat a foreclosure like an eviction.
