The basic numbers I see are usually:Purchase Price- price you pay for the propertySelling Price - amount you will sell the property for (not necessarily what you will list it for)Holding Costs- monthly payments, insurance, utilities, points paid upfrontRE Agent Commission - agent's commission on the sale of the property (commission on the purchase of the property is considered paid by the seller)Rehab costs - total expenses used in rehabbing the property from lawn, paint, permits, property inspection, contractors, supplies, etc.Profit - the amount you must make to take the dealIf you take the selling price and first subtract the purchase price, then subtract the expenses (holding costs, agent commission, rehab) you should have your Profit amount.

Well, sometimes they have to find a few contractors to help them do it.

the Main problem is finding a contractor(s) that you can trust.

A bidder's deposit of $21,200.00 or 10% of the sale price, whichever is lower, will be required in cash, certified or cashier's check.

They did sent out a non certified junior appraiser to do an investment property which is a pet peeve of mine but we lived through that as well.

We had a contractor come out and do an estimate today, and wow was it expensive!

Do contractors do a lot of work in the winter or is it too cold.
