I don't mind paying for their time, but it would be preferred to pay them after the work is done and the property is purchased".It's likely that someone here will tell you that a GOOD contractor is too busy to mess with your, "I'll pay you later IF I get the house" gift.Do you currently have easy access to the inside of the property?

We converted the attic and Steve lived up there and shared the living space on our side of the house.

Anyone have ideas on how I can rent my backyard space out in center city Philadelphia? 

Hi Steve Vaughan,For smaller retail spaces I have not seen vacancy for 2 years time.

I am looking for recommendations for a good GC in the Houston area who can build out a shell space into a office.

I just received my property tax notice for a commercial office/warehouse space I own. 

I went back in and changed the following: - Added my acquisition financing amortization time- Increased my closing costs for the acquisition loan - Changed my purchase price to $60k to reach the target LTV you mentioned in #3- I also added in monthly holding costs which I totally spaced.

Where would I get this information without having access to the MLS?

For the latter, for example- buying a fixer-upper in a sketchier neighborhood would be pretty risky if you don't have easier access to get to the property if need be.
