Seriously this time, you could either put it under contract for yourself and assign the contract or pass them off to an agent you trust and you could co/list it when you become licensed considering the settlement likely won't take place until then.

So what we have is two people paying rent and utilities in a home without a lease, contract, or any proof of an agreement. 

Be prepared to get notarized statements from the contractors that were there, or have your attorney subpoena them to appear in court to testify about the tenant's threatening behavior. 

Looking for contractors who have experience in these types of remodels - especially with a home of that era. 

I would be very reluctant to pay much above the 70% number for a deal.on your first flip, you almost certainly will pay twice as much and it will take you twice as long to complete as expected.IMO the market is really tight, maybe those who are paying 80-85% have cheaper capital, or are licensed real estate agents, or are doing enough deals that they are getting discounts from contractors on labor, or are able to get discounted materials. 

I am looking for referrals for 203 k contractors in NJ for a project in Morris County NJ.

I am a civilian contractor stationed in the Middle East and have no primary residence in the States.

It has been often suggested here and elsewhere to pursue something that keeps a toe in the water of the working world, as it limits the downside risks, and could turn into a fruitful enterprise for post-retirement.At the request of a friend and BP associate, I've been asked to provide expert opinion and electrical analysis on residential properties that are either on the market, or recently sold through his brokerage, as there are many customers who want a deeper look at their electrical system, deeper than what a typical home inspector will do, but they are not ready to ask a contractor to come out and simply give a blank check to 'fix whatever's wrong' (famous last words).

I am looking to include regulations for a duplex about parking and property maintenance either in the leasing contract  or as an addendum to the contract.
