This is a prime example of not understanding the difference between "project time" and "elapsed time".

So, you can easily fix the furnace and still have $3,400 left over for other projects.

Both projects make money but cheap appliances have lower vandalism/theft risk.

one of the biggest expenses of being a realtor is errors and omissions insurance and it is there for a reason.In my geographical area, there are very draconian building codes and it is hard (and expen$ive) to get projects through so many, many homeowners just build without permits.

We will not invest in lower-income condominiums that resemble "The Projects".

I then did some rehab projects to make some really nice money.

Dan :idea: Your Own Homes Improvement Outline (One for the Ladies) by: Dan AuitoThis report is written for those people who may want to improve or update their own home so along those lines, I would like to give you an overview of the factors that may lead you in creating a more effective and successful home improvement project or plan of your own.Let me begin by saying what a home improvement plan will not do!

First, remember the banks are regulated by the federal government and they are required to underwrite conforming loans and second, bank loans tend to be very structured and are generally inflexible to your project needs.

People that look for real estate in a certain area are either in that area or look for websites featuring listings from that area.The real estate websites are all powered by their respective Board of Realtors MLS feeds.So even if you have website ranking first for a competitive search term (Aspen Real Estate, if your property was in Aspen) you would still miss out on the 100's of website from local real estate agents that could feature your listings.If the project is big enough it could work to just focus on web advertising with pay-per-clicks on the major search engines.
