For a restaurant the lease should be specific as to drains kept clear, operable toilets, cleaned grease traps, health code issues pertaining to the RE, etc.

Of course, it will be easier if the agent is on your side, but ultimately, it's up to the seller, not the agent.

I had a Sub contractor named Joe Lewis Jr. clean my tools out on a job then try to sue me.

It's much easier to control your situation (and your profit) once you have control of a deal then it is to negotiate something that doesn't yet exist.Hope that helps.Best of luck,Matt

I would think you could get it at $1/ft there, but I wouldn't mind paying a few cents more per foot for someone good.As J Scott points out, the rolled laminate is much less to purchase, and much easier to install (so very cheap overall). some of the newer ones look good too, but can't attest to their durability..

It is durable and easy to clean, just move out the furniture and get the hose.

(I'm specifically speaking about 80+ year old properties)Generally speaking, I feel a rehab will simply clean up a place to make it more desirable to buyers and slightly increase it's value.

You won't regret having a clean money trail and all agreementins in writing.May I repeat, all agreements in writing.Be sure to address liability in case someone gets hurt during be build.Don't be too informal with tenants.

@Sandy Paris As long as you learn how to apply the general rules and it makes the number easier for you to understand, then it can be a great idea!

It is so much easier to sell a single detached home compared to an apartment complex.
