Quote from @Keyano Burgess: Hi Rehaan,My philosophy is the numbers never lie.

Bought 1st house when I was 19 and never looked back How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Heck no, I have been flipping and holding props for 10 years ,100s and 100s and 100s , NEVER using an agent, and never buying listed props.

Yes, just like @Jon Gibbens said, run your comps and never rely on the estimate that the platforms give you.

We agreed on the date of separation (end of season).

I always wanted independence from an employer, but this was the push I needed to get of the porch and out my head and start the process.I am here to start my journey of financial freedom, where I will never have to worry about anyone  making major decisions that impact my life in a way that I can not control and leave me in desperation.

Since you are just graduating college you may already realize that it's not what you know, but who you know (as a personal note, I had college friends that were barely passing their classes however they ended up with really good paying jobs due to "who they knew").

In the future, a) get a super detailed Scope Of Work and ironclad Contract. b) Do not pay more money as a progress payment than the amount of work that has been performed, that way you are never ahead of the Contr or vice versa.Your options (depending on how much he owes you) are Small Claims Court, the State Registrar of Contrs, and possibly the local DAs office or State AG if the amount is higher ($50k ish)Good luck, let us know what happens.

I NEVER do.

I have never sent a mailer out before and looking for suggestions anyone may have.
