I've got all sorts of off the wall skills (wood working, tile, welding, auto repair, computer/network, electrical, ...etc), which I know is going to be my greatest strength while also causing me to struggle with hiring help.My wife and I bought for 160 in north Austin, and sold for 260 after doing some serious bathroom/bedroom/kitchen remodels.  

I will have a secure job at my family owned business, that does flooring and house remodeling, making about $25,000 to $35,000 a year part time.

I was awarded judgement in my favor on a remodel gone wrong by small claims court in Central Texas.

Be explicit in the lease; clogged toilets, broken windows, holes in the walls, etc. 

Sounds like you are referring to overhead and profit, those are usually 10% for each on remodel jobs. 

Of course, they also sell things I would never buy (used toilets, for example), but they are definitely worth checking out!

The house was gutted and remodeled with granite, tile, wood, ss appliances, ect. 

The first house we bought, completely fixed up and remodeled and lived in until we found, and could afford something bigger (we have 4 kids so we wanted more space).

They also look at MLS and if it says remodeled on a recent sold they get a stiffie and will call and knock on your door.
