To do it right your going to waste some money at the beginning until it's dialed in. 

Hi all,Just curious what folks thoughts are on front loading vs. top loading washing machines. 

They are built at the minimum snow load for exterior walls. 

This is my first post so in case bartering is not kosher, I'll be sure to adjust :)  I'm having a harder time estimating labor rates than material costs, which you can look up one at a time on lowes or home depot websites.Any advice for a first timer trying to build good estimates to check against contractor bids and also know if a property is worth bidding on before hauling a bunch of people through wasting all of our time.Any help is greatly appreciated and Happy New Year to you all.

I think a top sponsor is such a loaded question.

If you want more responsibility that material isn't wasted/stolen, for a little reduction in price then buy material yourself. 

Huge headaches like crazy neighbors or title problems that waste lots of time would probably be high on the list as well.

Try to get any home inspections done prior to applying (so as to not waste any money once you apply)No you don't need to have the loan prior to making the offer, just a per-approval.

That would leave me responsible for snow removal and lawn care as well as waste removal (which would be around $93 a month for a 4 cubic yard dumpster which should be sufficient.First Analysis - I wanted to get a ballpark figure of what expenses would be for the property if it hadn't been recently renovated, so I ran the numbers assuming higher expenses for repairs.

When I asked for a conference call with them and my clients, I was in disbelieve what load of crap they were feeding them.
