Eventually, you will find someone who does good work for a fair price.If you want to do the expensive stuff (plumbing, electrical), you can still hire out the cheap stuff like painting and landscaping and free up more time.

Bring it up to the lender to light a fire under him, better might be to tell the lender to reassign the job.

I recently changed all the light switches, outlets, and plates(light almond color) in a rental property of mine.

For me it is a combination of the two.Homedepot:For paint I use Kilz Pro-X dead flat, all fans and light fixtures, all plumbing(bigger selection)Lowes:I use there tile and backspalsh.

REPLACE MISSING LIGHT BULBS.

I have everything else: Flash light, gloves, camera, cell phone, digital laser measure.I'll keep this updated for each one I actually sell.

But, if I were to guess at San Antonio prices and if I were to guess at the quality level you want and if I were to guess at the types of contractors you'd use and if I were to guess at the condition of the property, my *GUESS* would be about $30 per square foot, or about $65K.That would cover all mechanicals (electrical, plumbing, HVAC), insulation, sheetrock, painting, flooring, cabinets, lighting/plumbing fixtures, appliances and trim (for about 2200 square feet).But again, you don't provide much info, so that's a complete guess based on assumptions that could be completely incorrect.

We are working on adding this addendum to our form bundle in light of the recent changes so I can't give you our official version yet.

Nothing is off limits, religion, politics, music that really stinks, health insurance, corporate rip offs, younger women who refuse to go out with old men, old men that ask younger women out, or men I guess, movies full of kids, church dinners where evryone brings the same dish, stop lights that aren't syncronized, whatever....Yes, I'll do one on late night RE gurus!

I'm in my pic, I live up there, you just can't see me seperating the clouds to let the light shine through!
