The ransom money escrow holdback was IIRC about double the highest estimate from what three general contractors said it would take to finish it.

I had a few. questions in regards to rehab cost, how do you find an accurate number on rehab cost. do you hire a contractor to come out and give you an estimate or do you look into cost of items that need repaired and calculate the cost that way. second  has debt to income ratio  bin a problem for anyone starting out when it comes to have approval for loans.

We did not hire a contractor for the work, we worked with subs/crews that would come in and help us complete each job. 

Hi BP—Since this is my first time doing a partnership, I need some advice on how to fairly structure the split....I'm coming in with 100% of the required funds for down payment, rehab, and mortgage from my SD IRA and my partner is bringing the deal, his network of contractors and property managers, and his own time and labor to help with rehab basics. 

For this reason I use contractors to do all my repairs and pass their fees along to the tenants.

I've been a licensed real estate agent for over a year now, am a novice house hacker and do insurance by day (which pays the bills but lack the passion for).  

Hi everyone,First, for disclosure I am a licensed agent and a property management company owner in the state of Texas. 

I'm looking for contractor recommendations in the Raleigh, NC area for a fix and flip project.

I interviewed 8 contractors and I am collecting bids now. 

I may be going down to do some work there too, while my son is now licensed in OR , allowing us to work both markets!
