One says it's great for the two main reasons mentioned above, one said it's B.S. due to different state's charging order protections and state's propensity to respect other state's statutes.

The main house is completed and as far as labor, I spent $40,000 on just labor and that includes everything from full gut demo to finishes.We are talking about a 4BD, 3BTH two story 2400 ft.² home with a bonus room.This was a full gut job, replaced…12 Windows (new construction)2 sliding doorsTook out all carpet throughout.Took out this ugly 2” thick tile from half of the downstairs portion.Removed popcorn throughout the entire houseTook one wall downA little framing workReplaced entry door 80” x 92”Drywall patchingSmooth drywall work50 recessed lightingAll electrical neededAll plumbing neededNew cement walkway instead of one walk to the front door I created two steps with two lights in each step.Install kitchen cabinets, excluding countertopInstall all three vanities3 bathtubs with one being a modern standalone tub in the masterAll tile work (bathroom wall & floor, kitchen backsplash)Installing of all hardware, faucets, showerheads, etcInstalled 8 single panel doors with hardwareAdding self-leveler after tearing out that thick tileNew LVP flooring throughout the entire house except bathrooms,all baseboards, trimsPainting the entire house, painting all the doors, painting the outside trim.Reframing the outside balconyReframing the fireplace to install new linear modern electrical fireplaceand they took care of the two trash bins.I mean, completely redone.The only thing that was not included in the $40,000 is landscaping, counter top cut and install and of course the ADU which I’m currently working on now.So my question for my fellow investors and contractors did I pay too much?

My go to plumber moved recently so that didn't help so I am out looking for a good one before the next emergency. 

Make sure to reach out to one with real estate experience.

I suggest contacting a few and having phone conversations with them to find the one that best fits your needs/situation. 

I’m recently started getting into wholesaling but HAVEN’T gotten my first deal (IT ONLY TAKES ONE DEAL TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE-Max Maxwell), I’ve been driving for dollars & calling people, listening/ watching podcast/videos & reading books so I’m taking action.

I want to know if I buy a four plex under an FHA, claiming that one of the units will be my primary residence, can I move somebody into the unit I claim as my residence and collect rent from them without issue? 

Looking forward to the next one.

At the time, I was married, thinking we’d have more kids, and maybe move my dad in as he ages.Well since then, I’ve gotten divorced, decided I’m one and done on kids, and switched jobs to have a longer commute.

In an on the market podcast I listened to recently they talked about underrated cities and mentioned population growth as one of the metrics used gage whether it was a good investment.
