It was an effort on my part to simplify my life and have more free time.

A few books that are game changers - Quantum Warrior, by John Kehoe, Ask and it is Given, by Hicks, Success Principles, by jack Canfield, Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, by Eker.

It is hard to put numbers on it, but unless there is some way to add value and recapture the investment i.e. extra bedroom and bathroom, I don't think the margins and liability are worth a rehabber's effort. 5)As has previously been suggested by others, flipping it as a demo seems to be the most viable solution if the lot value plus the cost of the demo works.

The BBA says the Broker's (aka: agent) obligation to you is to "(a) use Broker's best efforts to assist Client in acquiring property in the market area; (b) assist Client in negotiating the acquisition of property in the market area; and (c) comply with other provisions of this agreement." 

I only had one contractor who failed to show for days, I always hold the purse and if delays put me off into another market period, like winter, I'll start zapping the pocket, if they walk off, they get to pay the next contractor (if its worth the effort).

It's been a great team effort ^^@Brandon Turner @Joshua Dorkin Joshua & Brandon, I know you've heard it many times before, but you've done so much for real estate investors worldwide!

So even though on BP its free its still wasted time and effort on something you will never do...
