Purchase price: $105,000 House was gifted to me by one of my customers, house was basically uninhabitable after he passed due to him smoking 2 cartons of cigarettes a week for 20 years.

Sometimes it's determined by local customs. 

If you don't like customer service or dealing with people (lots of crazy people, lol), you may not like it.

I grew up having 2-3 dogs and we also fostered dogs.

Superior custom finishes throughout.

I also like one of his former students, his name is Fritz Joseph.If you are a Carrot.com website customer they also have a FB course. 

@Dave Foster Hey thanks Dave!

Can you work with a different contractor who's willing to take a little less on each job since they know you'll be a repeat customer? 

A.  1031 exchange or partial exchange, with a potential refi down the road to get some extra cash out (as @Dave Foster outlined).B. 

Yes I would get a nonrefundable deposit if they want to customize the unit so that you can repaint if the deal falls through.Just make sure you have any of the disclosure paperwork if that’s required in your state.
