I need to replace the floor and paint the interior house (walls, trip, 2 doors) The contractor that I worked with him until now raised his prices dramatically and I would like to create a benchmark for me in order to make sure I'm not overpayingI like to ask you from your experience, how much should cost installation of the vinyl floor (materials and work) for 1 sqftAnd how much should cost regular interior paint: (walls, trip, 2 doors)  for 720sqft.

Maybe some niche program from some credit union but stand alone HELOC's at that LTV/CLTV just don't exist in the regular world.

They will be able to guide you with more experience than regular residential professionals.

However, I don't understand how this price increase differs from the price increases in other markets, like San Francisco, where demand has regularly outpaced supply even before STRs were a thing.

One thing about a non-refundable pet fee, is that if the pet does do damage, I take that from the regular deposit they put down. 

If I were to invest that kind of money into education (as I do regularly) I would want it to involve hands on experience and potentially some form of partnership in the deals I want to establish credibility around. 

You need to know all this well before completing a purchase.The operating budget will obviously tell you what they are spending money on for the current period, on things like landscaping, various routine repairs, pest control, pool service, utilities, and preventative maintenance.

Every neighborhood has a price ceiling when it comes to regular single family home.

100% Normal and routine request.  

I mean if of course foreclosed properties are much cheaper than regular homes for sale, why doesn't everyone buy them and just resell it for a higher price to make a profit?
