Construction and renovation are never going to go perfect, it is the nature of the unknown - but communicating what's going on seems to be difficult for most GCs.I would be very aware of the payments you've made and be sure not to overpay - that is really your only leverage.

Hi everyone.this is my first time posting on this forum so I hope I'm making sense.In about a year from today, I'm hoping to purchase my first investment property, but unlike most of you, my road is a bit more difficult cause i don't live in the states, and never have lived.What I wanted to ask is what are the steps I need to take this coming year so that in 12 months I can just find a rental property that works with my strategy and buy it?

My long term goal is to hold but I also offered to sell them the house.Question is how do I have the difficult conversation about raising the rent on them if they don't want to buy?
