Cutting corners to save time might seem like a good idea, but it can lead to expensive repairs later on.

Sometimes it might be better to leave some money in the deal to get a better cash flow and provide a little more of a safety net.I hope that helps.

With Shelly on edge, I knocked on the door, prepared to negotiate with someone who didn’t know us and wasn’t necessarily open to leaving.

@Alex Ng,It’s still possible to find a property for under $100,000 in Birmingham in 2023, but like @Matt Wallington said, you’re probably going to be edging into C neighborhood territory if you want a rent-ready property.

Maybe they had to cut through clay soil versus loam, or tunnel under a driveway???

You can do your business your way which has predominantly been telling everyone (through a lot of good posts, but also a lot of cut and paste posts) to do it the way you do it, which does work for some, but also does not work for many others because they don't put the work in.The reason I have always thought you were selling is because you always are.

Consulting with a contractor or local building official is advisable to navigate compliance with safety requirements while optimizing your renovation project effectively

Its why we buy on the edge of certain neighborhoods, because we know it will appraise dramatically higher than its market value...thus allowing us to cash out much more money on the property. 

If it means hiring local people, (I.e. cleaning, handyman, someone to act on your behalf in an emergency,) then where does that leave you if you’re only in it for a co-lister’s cut?

A 32-year-old would never insult a politician in person, but they have no problem getting nasty from the safety of mom's basement.If profiles were verified and public, then we would clean things up a bit.
