Don't leave things to chance, don't make decisions based on chance or gut feelings (though if your gut is warning you, investigate further), and if the numbers don't pencil out in your favor at the beginning of a project, things will only get worse down the road.

It has been a long road and I have tried many different ebooks but I have noticed they all go back to Cris Chico.

What if 2 years down the road you decide to move to a new property and want to lease both sides of the duplex.

I am currently going to be a college freshman, but I am looking down the road and am interested in real estate.

Combined with longer manufacturer warranties, it leaves a tough road ahead for anyone working within the flat rate industry, IMO.

Over the phone he was asking for $59,000 for the property and saying all it needs is drywall and kitchen cabinets to get it rolling; and that he has already done the roof, sub floors, windows/doors, framing, electric, and plumbing.The most similar house recently sold, that I've found so far at least, was about a block down the road from it and went for $126k back in August.

the places i called are individual stores on the side of the road or in an industrial complex with not much traffic. i thought they would be under 1k for a tiny counter like the one i need. i have not found an individual dealer/installer with rock bottom prices.i agree that 700 more is worth it for a flip, but does not make much sense for a rental unless it's higher end. taking a laminate off and replacing a cabinet is a breeze compared to breaking the granite to get to the problem.

Is $370k upscale for your area, or middle of the road?

Maybe even knocking on neighbors doors on buildings that seem to have a lot of deferred maintenance, The road exists, it's finding the path that you feel will work for you the best!!

Replace it or you will regret it down the road.
