Once you get into framing, there's a lot of things to know about vapor barriers, ground contact lumber, mold-resistant materials, etc.In my opinion, this isn't a DIY type of project unless you're a licensed contractor.

* Realtor fee - 6% when selling (encouragement when providing a good deal)* Rehab - Labor cost \ Materials \ Utilities - Heater, boiler \ Electrical \ plumbing \ Flooring \ Window Ext. * Inspector fee* LLC company fees * Title company Anything else included?

Reason is probably just an error, maybe internal as opposed to external measurements.

The purchase price was $10,000 I spent a little over 4k in materials and about $1500 in closing costs.* I will note I did contract out one thing and that was carpet upstairs.

If everything checks out buy your own materials and pay half up front/half at completion. 

A contractor is better at building than picking materials.

I pay the material costs upfront and give my contractor weekly draws.

Material will be $130/ square for shingle.

Hi Maryann,I just asked the question from the creators, and here is their reply regarding the Dovetail Method:Copyright (paperwork is actually in Library of Congress in Washington DC) - documents, written material, ... for DovetailTrademark - registered TM with a number of terms involved with the Dovetail Method.Patent Pending - overall process of the utilization of using revocable living trusts in an AB to BC transactions; that process has pending US patent; think this may be a first in the realm of real estate investing.Does this answer your question?

Of course, you're still going to deal with the added time and labor and material expense of new rock.
