Hey everyone,So I applied to test for a GC license in California, but was short on experience.

Will update after testing Super Glue in the end groove.

And, be prepared to walk away. 

It’s inspiring to see how you’ve been so intentional about preparing for this next chapter—your commitment to learning and gaining hands-on experience will serve you incredibly well in fix-and-flip projects.

That's a great situation that you're in with your employer sending you out to test these markets over the next 18 months.I am from Pittsburgh and happy to answer any questions you have about the market here.

I'm honestly torn on this one and unless we can get a major financial concession, we are prepared to walk.

But as a FSBO, I would to make sure you are pricing your house accurately with comps, hire a professional photographer, pay to list your house on the local MLS to make sure the people you want see it, hire a real estate attorney, and prepare to deal with buyers.

The city stated they will send someone out to test the meter and yes, I charge the tenants a 5% late fee for late payments. 

To protect your margins, it’s crucial to have a solid understanding of costs upfront, consider negotiating long-term prices with suppliers, and prepare for possible delays in renovation schedules.In both scenarios, it’s often safer to focus on markets with strong fundamentals (stable job market, population growth) and properties at or below the median home price in the area to appeal to a broad buyer base.

Then be prepared to follow thru and fight him in court.
