It's a very messy deal, but sounds like it will be the most fun to explore : )  Currently I am trying to gather all of his legal documents (cell tower lease, rental agreements, etc.) so that I can meet with investors to come up with an offer price.While I can't say I am happy with the results thus far, I am waiting until the full 6-month campaign finishes up before I make any firm judgements as to the success or failure of the mailings.  

A good sewer guy for clogs, a electrician, a plumber, Heat guy,  should be found top priority and company that does turn painting. and carpet cleaning. 

Finding a deal on a house that basically just needs lipstick - paint and carpet.

I'd like to hear your thoughts on it.2 bed, 2 bathList Price: $40k (I will be offering $30k cash)Rent: $750-$800Rehab: It is ready to rent and looks better than the others in the area, however I may replace the carpet with vinyl "hardwood look"Insurance: $50/m?

The left unit was not in as nice of shape. the floors are probably going to need to be replaced with all new carpet or something else.

I just can't do carpet anymore.

Same with roofer, car mechanic, carpet installer, painter, etc.

After all, garbage collection costs what it costs, and so does snow removal, carpet installation, cleaning, painting, property taxes, etc.Make it your business to know what stuff costs and you won't have to estimate...and you won't lose money, which would be a bonus :)

It should have laminate carpet linoleum or tile floors. 3) your PM jumped the gun.

I saw the whole, messy chain of this crap.
