Thanks David - yeah, as I am gathering info on building up duplexes, it's coming out as very daunting task/project :).

I don't have a direct answer to your question, but did want to share:The PM company I work with uses Task Masters to post all notices.

Purchase price: $149,000 Cash invested: $160,000 Sale price: $320,000 This project chronicles the journey of my business partner and me as we embarked on the challenging task of restoring a house we had purchased for $149,000.

Joseph, to help boost your new business you might consider purchasing a mailing list of homeowners in your target area and mailing a 4x6 postcard with your info and handyman tasks you can do.

As a completely non-technical task, you can certainly get some day labor; rent a truck; and supervise the operation to clean it out for far, far, less.

If a task or repair comes up, and I don't have the tool that is needed, or one that could be used to get the job done, I usually buy it if it is less than $100.

I'm going to request a copy of the full report soon but I haven't heard any update from the lenders on the applications yet, so I'm waiting for them to call, in case they're busy with other tasks, I don't want to burden them since it's mostly curiosity.

Maybe in the future, but there's only so much you should automate of these tasks.

My questions are:1) I know it won’t be an easy task finding one to match such terms, but is it possible that I will be able to obtain a HML to cover my costs, seeing that I have no prior experience and very little money to fund a down payment/points without sucking up my cash reserves?

If I could block 20-30 users posts from showing to me it would greatly enhance my experience.
