You may benefit from operating your wholesale business as an S-corp to potentially save on payroll taxes.You may also be required to file a corporate return for your painting business.Lawrenceville GA appears to be very close to Atlanta GA.

So several months ago, I paid little over 2k for rent ready work - paint touchups, some maintenance work when the tenant moved out.

For example, you buy the place and the tenant could claim the Seller allowed them to paint the walls black or that their security deposit was twice what the Seller claimed.

Paint or mud drywall while you ask questions.5.

With little structural work needed, the $200,000 renovation budget will mostly be dedicated to completely updating the kitchens and bathrooms, refinishing the existing hardwood floors, removing wallpaper and interior painting, replacing windows and repairing the back decks.

i'm going to have to have a company come rip up the drywall, dry everything out and re-drywall/paint....I imagine that whole process will take at least a week.The home is a 3br/2ba...their 2 children's rooms are unaffected and the couple in the master could move their bed/clothes to a "play" room downstairs or live in one of the two living rooms in the home.  

As far as The lead based paint I usually have one of my subcontractors that has his certification do the scraping and skim coating and prImer just to be on the safe sIde.

3 - How many times will you have to replace floors, kitchens, furnaces, HWH, driveways, porches, paint, bathrooms, roofs, etc...over those 10, 15, 30 year periods?...

I have been a property manager for 15+ years as well as know all trades (roofing, minor plumbing, minor electric, drywall, paint, carpentry) from my years of working on homes.

As a filipper my costs are a lot higher compared to a buy and hold investor.A flipper will put in new carpets, refinish the floors, paint the walls etc. etc.A buy and hold investor will NOT do any of that stuff.
