This is also my first post on BP but I’m a HUGE fan of all the content and experience here.

However, as long as you do makereadys with more durable materials like snap in floors instead of carpet, flush lights instead of fans.. you're safeguarding yourself against those costs. 

That being said - I'm actually pretty good at painting, but I hate it with a passion.

My repair cost is $1,000 and includes painting living room, bedrooms, installing new ceiling fans in all bedrooms, and a few drywall repairs.   

My name is Thayer Hood, I am a Broker/Investor Consultant in the booming marketplace of Indianapolis, IN.I am a newer agent, but I am ready and willing to learn from anyone and everyone who is willing to help.I thought my passion would be in the residential wholesale side, however after our team has found a few new properties and having met with contractors for bids, I have found my passion in REI.Being new or not, even I can see we have some incredible opportunities for investors.

I would love for people to pick apart an investment, I am a big fan of the calculators on here and will be going Pro later today so I can use them more!

I am a huge fan of buy-and-hold rentals.

Like, with a passion. 

Real Estate is a long play, it works very well over time if you have the passion and edurance, but you won't get rich quickly.It is actually surprisingly simple, but it's not really easy.

I enjoy reading, especially about things I am passionate about and help me grow not just in the business but in every aspect of my daily life.
