I currently live in a 3 bedroom maintenance free townhome.

We've added the ability to add references so you can see if that contractor has people who recommend them and their work.I think our Mini Tutorial of the site might be helpful for you guys:http://www.biggerpockets.com/sitetour/tour-features.htmlHave a look and let me know if this clarifies anything for you.

The only thing that makes me hesitate is one of the bedrooms has had the sheetrock removed from the ceiling, and the carpet was removed from that room and the room next to it.

I am planning to remodel one bedroom 10' X 14'.

Send them a letter with double postage and "do not foward, address correction requested" on the envelope.3.

I'm a 20 year old college student so while i work on my degree at UM i want to buy a property (in Coral Gables hopefully) and rent out the extra bedrooms.

You either double close on the property, or assign the purchase contract.

Improperly retaining deposits is dealt with harshly in many locales, often with double or triple damages.Jon

If we did a double closing we could make a ton from this deal but we had decided to start with assignments because they were easier.

The counter tops are scratched and stained, old painted cubboards, old windows the upstairs bedrooms floors are painted and I have cheap carpet down stairs.
