Tell me if I'm forcing this to work.

Originally posted by J Scott:While this may not be representative of anything other than my type of rehabs, my location, my type of properties, my contractors and my materials, over my first 50 rehabs, materials have consisted of 21% of the total rehab costs and labor has consisted of 79% of the rehab costs.I wouldn't try to extrapolate that to any other investor, any other market, etc...Were you dealing with subs, or your own labor force?

Just doing a plan will force you and your other half to line up.

When the house turns over, I connect a leaf blower to force air through the line.

Even the different contractors who know code and know city crap the inspectors spew dont get permits unless they are forced,,,they hate permits as much as any body.

I called him and he was "busy" Still hasn't called me back and his "voicemail box is full".I explained earlier to the first guy that if they were in anticipatory breach that I could start the eviction process right away and force them out and still have my contractually obligated damages for the 6 months as agreed.So, here's my question: I've read that I should be a hard *** with tenants but am I being unreasonable?

It is NOT a win-win situation when someone is forced to sell their house at 50 cents on the dollar.

And I did not apply any force, it was broken.

Real estate licensing forces those in the profession to conform to a set of ethical standards and gives the consumer the legal recourse if they do not.

I bought it at the peak of the market and I was forced to short sold it when the market crashed.
