Hello Shonu my name is Armando Diaz I am a general contractor from Atlanta and I have a 40 percent discount on any materials or appliances that you need and if you make a wholesale purchase I can give you a $50 percent discount I also have professional remodeling crews that have the most reasonable prices.

Now, if we move into the home and replace a faucet, toilet seat, window blinds, etc., in 6 months, it is not considered part of the rehab anymore and it is just general maintenance......

I'm big on the remodeling line of thinking.

If you need to replace a toilet in that property and it costs you $150 to do so, that takes up 25% of that months rent.

I don't make any money on this rental, and I just paid to have a new toilet installed two weeks ago.

Newly remodeled, previously flooded, 18% cash on cash, 85% return on equity, 31k down, 4 junk cars next door in the driveway, quick access to hot part of town

Line up the hard money loan amount you could be approved for, buy a fixer from a wholesaler, have the contractor make repairs and either 1) rent out or 2) flip depending on numbers and then use delayed financing to pull out the value of the home and pay off most of the hard money loan or wait 6 months and refi to pull out the purchase price AND remodel money and pay off hard money lender.

I always had great pride in our homes  & remodels because it was built with quality in mind and affordability...

We've had others ask why we would out an extra 5k into a kitchen remodel, then I sell it over asking by 10k and it usually shuts them up.

I repeated the process for all remodel items and left items for labor.
