I dont have any experience dealing with contractors, but I frequent several REI message boards and it seems to me that one of the biggest complaints I see over and over is how hard they are to find.I ask this because, I am trying to break into the rehab side of real estate after I get enough start up capitol by doing Lonnie deals.Long story short, I have a cousin doing rehab/remodel work in another state, but he wants to come back to Kansas.

I still think my biggest concern with the rental approach (besides needing more information to see if the numbers would even work) can they afford to withstand some of the bad months that could come with a rental property.

Other than access to cash the biggest obstacles are the time it takes to perform the research and the ability to handle the inherent risks of buying property at auction that hasn't been available for inspection.

Your biggest risk in tax sales is that the property is not worth what you bid.

There are several things you need to check out just yet.The biggest questions that need to be answered are;1.

I think immigration is a big issue that could affect many industries but may have huge impact on construction and restaurants which I would bet to be two of biggest industries in this country (I don't have any facts to back up the restaurant industry claim).I've already felt the effect of the value of the american dollar dropping by many of my Polish Contractor's employees moving back to Europe and fewer new Polish immigrants coming to replace them.

The biggest plus in my opinion is you can receive commission on properties you buy for yourself (at least in Wisconsin).

That was the biggest expense.

Maybe more attic insulation will give biggest bang for buck, or duct cleaning, or changing the filter more often.

Used the scraper to get the biggest spots.
