Some repairs can open the door to others such as wiring, plumbing, foundation.  

Hi,   Wanted to ask if anyone has a good contractor contact in Monmouth County in NJ?

Also what kind of insurance should I request to see from the contractor?

As of now I have a solid network of laborers each with their own specialty of trades at really good prices, my partner, has been a contractor for over 30 years himself and managed many flipping properties and has a good understand about the industry.

Plumbing?

(electrical, plumbing,roof,etc.).Option 2:New home house purchase in B+ area with brand new subdivision. 225,000225,000 you put 50,000 down instead of 15,000 for option 1.225,000 house gets 100 a month in rents surplus.

This way you can begin building your "team" or start figuring out the best places to get loans, best contractors, etc.It's a waiting game for sure and it sucks to just sit but I'm sure everyone goes through a stagnant period in their career.Good luck out there!

We have put approximately 50k into it including new kitchen, new bath, new windows, new paint, new lighting, plumbing work, new deck, moved driveway to side street.

Is okay, but you must have list of a lot of good contractors available

I've mentioned flipping in the past, but of course she shuts me down because we're going to lose all our money, we don't know how to fix anything ourselves, and contractors are too expensive.
